Europe’s biggest conference for industrial inkjet and other emerging printing technologies, Industrial Print Integration (IPI), returns for its fifth edition on 24-25 November 2026 in Neuss, Germany. Bringing together companies and institutions developing the next generation of industrial print applications, the 2026 programme explores three key trends: the rise of functional printing for electronics and smart surfaces, advances in high-viscosity jetting enabling thicker and more functional inks, and the growing convergence of industrial printing and additive manufacturing.

Technical sessions will delve deeper into the technologies driving new industrial applications. Topics include customised print systems for functional printing on diverse substrates, printhead designs optimised for high-viscosity inks, and advanced ink formulations. The programme will also address UV-LED curing and IR drying for industrial environments, big data and AI for process optimisation, sustainability in manufacturing, direct-to-shape printing for complex geometries, plasma treatment for challenging materials, and sustainable 3D printing approaches leveraging industrial printing technologies.

On 23 November, a pre-conference programme will offer a tour of the Epson Experience Center in Neuss, where attendees can explore innovations in printhead technology, robotics and automation through interactive demonstrations. The programme will also include Ink Delivery System Training and a preview of a new ESMA Academy course on inkjet for functional applications.

Delegates registration is open with 50% discount for newcomers.
