Print Digital Convention 2026: moving into the future

Print Solutions

The Print Digital Convention (PDC) continues its success story and sets a clear signal for change and further development in 2026. On 16 and 17 June 2026, the congress and fair will take place for the first time in the foyer of hall 1 at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre – with a new brand identity, a modernised website and a clearly refined communication concept. The change in space, design and tone underlines the direction: PDC remains a driving force for the print, media and communications industry, while presenting itself as more independent, contemporary and forward-looking than ever before.

Whether itis media production, agencies, brand communication or publishing – anyone involved in communications will find concrete inspiration, new business contacts and immediately applicable technologies at the Print Digital Convention 2026. Around 1000 square metres of exhibition space and strong industry partners create space for exchange on an equal footing with a special focus on the DACH region.

The Print Digital Convention 2026 is all about transformation: a revamped corporate design, a new logo and a fresh digital presence mark the visible change. The new look encapsulates the diversity and innovative strength of the industry and reinforces the independence of the PDC brand. An abbreviation that has long since established itself in everyday language. ‘The new brand identity reflects the diversity, creative drive and innovative strength of the industry,’ explained Rüdiger Maaß, managing director of the Fachverband Medienproduktion eV (FMP). ‘The abbreviation ‘PDC’ has long stood for more than just a trade fair. It stands for an attitude: solution oriented, user friendly, open to the future.’

At the same time, the website is also being redesigned: user friendly, clearly structured and optimised for mobile devices, it will offer contemporary access to the event and its content in future.

In terms of content, the Print Digital Convention remains true to its proven concept. The focus continues to be on the strategically sensible combination of print and digital media with the aim of presenting communication solutions that create real added value: for brands, agencies, media companies and service providers.

The format combines trade fair, congress, practice-oriented best practices and high quality networking opportunities into a holistic experience. Instead of the previously clearly defined thematic areas, in 2026 all relevant content will be integrated and communicated in a networked manner on site – application oriented, dialogue oriented and open to new perspectives.

PDC will take place in Düsseldorf from 16 to 17 June 2026 and is organised by the Fachverband Medienproduktion (FMP) in partnership with Messe Düsseldorf and drupa.
