HP Mimaki’s stand at FESPA Karis Copp Media
FESPA 2026 once again demonstrated why face-to-face events remain so valuable. As an agency supporting businesses across different print segments, to Karis Copp Media one of the biggest benefits of the show is the opportunity it creates to strengthen existing relationships and build new ones.
‘Collaboration’ was definitely one of the words that summed up FESPA 2026. Many of the most interesting conversations centred around partnerships, integrations, and businesses working together to solve customer challenges. Whether it’s conversations on the show floor or in the bar afterwards, there’s always a genuine sense of people looking to create opportunities together, and this year was no different.
For a business like KC Media that attends to support clients and stay up to date with the industry, it provides an invaluable opportunity to hear directly from the market. What better way to understand customer priorities, problems, and sentiment? When it comes to long-term success, these insights can often be just as useful as the leads generated during the event itself. FESPA 2026 showed that print is an industry that is increasingly connected, collaborative, and focused on innovation through partnerships, and KC Media believes it will be one of the defining themes shaping the sector over the coming years.
