PDC 2026 to Chart Future Change & Development in Print
Düsseldorf will play host to PRINT DIGITAL CONVENTION (PDC) 2026 from 16-17 June 2026. Organised by Fachverband Medienproduktion (FMP) – a professional association for the graphics arts industry – in partnership with Messe Düsseldorf and drupa, the conference sets a clear signal for change and further development in 2026.
The two-day congress and fair will take place 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.
New Stage, New Strength
Whether it’s media production, agencies, brand communication, or publishing – anyone involved in communications will find concrete inspiration, new business contacts, and immediately applicable technologies at PDC 2026. Around 1,000 square metres of exhibition space and strong industry partners create space for exchange on an equal footing with a special focus on the DACH (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) region.
New Visual Identity
PDC 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,” explains FMP Managing Director Rüdiger Maaß. “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 as user-friendly, clearly structured, and optimised for mobile devices, offering contemporary access to the event and its content in future.
Holistic Experience
In terms of content, PDC 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.
