Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK will host Print-Ed 2026 on 11–12 March in partnership with the Association of Creative Print Managers in Education (ACPME).
The two-day event will take place at Konica Minolta’s Client Engagement Centre in Houghton Regis and will bring together in-house print and creative leaders for peer-led learning, technology insight and sector collaboration, with web-to-print among the key themes.
The 2026 edition also marks a milestone for ACPME as the organisation transitions to a new identity, the In-house Creative & Print Alliance (ICPA). The rebrand reflects a broader focus on supporting in-house print and creative professionals working across corporate, public-sector and non-profit environments.
Ollie Renshaw, vice-chair of the ACPME stated: “In-house creative and print teams across every sector are facing similar pressures – automation, sustainability, skills, and proving strategic value. Becoming ICPA allows us to support a much wider professional community while continuing to champion our education members. Print-Ed 2026 is the ideal platform to begin this next chapter.”
The event programme will include roundtables, hands-on demonstrations and discussions covering workflow automation, sustainability, creative integration and the evolving role of in-house print rooms. Organisers say the format is designed to encourage practical knowledge-sharing and networking.
Glyn Williams, production print and industrial print channel manager – private and public sector at Konica UK commented: “In-house print teams are transforming rapidly, and they need spaces to learn from each other and explore new possibilities. We’re proud to host Print-Ed 2026 and to support ACPME as it becomes ICPA – an evolution that reflects the growing importance of in-house production across all industries.”
Organisers state that the launch of Print-Ed 2026 and the transition to ICPA underline a continued focus on supporting the future development of in-house creative and print operations.
