Print Mastermind will introduce a new networking experience at Printing United Expo 2026. The aim is to encourage peer-to-peer discussion and knowledge sharing among print professionals.
The new Print Mastermind x Spill the Ink experience will be hosted within the Spill the Ink District during the exhibition, which takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center from 23-25 September. The sessions are designed to bring together printers from around the world for informal discussions covering topics including business growth, leadership, sales, marketing, artificial intelligence and the challenges facing print business owners.
Founded by Colin Sinclair McDermott, also known as The Online Print Coach and captain of the Printing United All-Stars, Print Mastermind has developed as an international community where printers collaborate, exchange ideas and learn from one another’s experiences.
Commenting on the new collaboration, Mr McDermott said: “One of the things I love most about our industry is how willing people are to help each other. Print Mastermind has always been about creating a safe space where business owners can share challenges, exchange ideas, and leave with practical actions they can implement immediately. Bringing that community to Printing United Expo feels like a natural next step, and I’m incredibly grateful to the Printing United Alliance team for making it possible.”

Printing United Alliance said the initiative reflects its ongoing collaboration with Print Mastermind to create opportunities for attendees beyond the exhibition’s traditional conference and trade show programme.
Joshua Carruth, EVP, Expositions, Printing United Alliance, said: “At Printing United Expo, we’re intentional about creating experiences that bring our industry together, and Colin has been an outstanding partner in that mission. As captain of the Printing United All-Stars, he’s helped foster a culture of community and shared success. Expanding that vision through Print Mastermind within the Spill the Ink District creates an even stronger destination for honest conversations, practical insights, and peer-to-peer learning. Together, we’re building a space where the best ideas in print aren’t just presented — they’re shared.”
The Print Mastermind x Spill the Ink sessions will run throughout the exhibition and will be open to all registered attendees, with each discussion intended to encourage practical problem-solving and the sharing of real-world experiences.
