Intergraf, in partnership with the Nordic Printing Association (NOPA), is delighted to announce the next edition of Print Matters, taking place in Budapest, Hungary, on Friday, 5 June 2026, with a company tour scheduled for Thursday, 4 June 2026.

This annual flagship conference will bring together printing industry leaders, suppliers, market experts and association representatives from across Europe and beyond to explore the strategic, economic and technological developments shaping the future of print.

As the graphic industry navigates regulatory pressure, global market volatility, sustainability transformation and increasing security risks, Print Matters 2026 will provide a high-level platform for forward-looking discussion and practical insight across four key pillars:

• Business Matters – including a case study from EDS, retail and consumer research insights from Lidl, and the Young Talent Award 2026 session exploring opportunities for print in a hyper-personalised future.
• Sustainability Matters – addressing developments such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), greenwashing considerations, the future of CO₂ calculation, and evolving corporate sustainability reporting requirements.
• Economic Matters – featuring an outlook on the US print market, developments in the global paper market, and analysis of worldwide production capacity across paper grades.
• Security Matters – focusing on risk assessment, business continuity, crisis management case studies, and broader resilience strategies including automation and robotics.

The programme will feature confirmed international speakers and industry experts, offering a strong combination of market intelligence, case studies and strategic foresight to support business decision-making in an increasingly complex environment.
