Monday April 19
AI Workshops + Welcome Reception
Arrivals through the day, plus an opt-in afternoon of AI workshops brought to you by Imagine AI Live. The conference then opens to everyone that evening with a conference-wide welcome reception.
Print UV 2027
The 2027 Conference
The gathering driving high-value printing forward, with sheetfed and web offset at its heart, alongside flexo and digital. An unmatched concentration of leadership, decision-making and technical craft—pushing UV, LED UV, special effects and cutting-edge AI applications for print.
Biennial by design. Miss 2027, and the next room is two years away.
Event Rhythm
The shape of the week
Arrive Monday and open the conference together that evening. Then two full content days. The rhythm is simple because it works — every hour is either learning or the conversation that makes it stick.
Tuesday April 20
Full Content Day
A full day of general sessions and exhibits: panels and peer exchange—with sponsors embedded in meals and breaks, not isolated on a show floor.
Wednesday April 21
Full Content Day
A second full day of content. The conference concludes at the end of the day—with two years of ideas to take home.
Session-level detail and exact hours will publish with the live 2027 agenda as sessions confirm — nothing lands on this page until it’s real.
Program Preview
High-value printing. Bigger possibilities.
Print UV 2027 puts high-value printing at the center, with sheetfed and web offset alongside flexo and digital. Three connected pillars bring UV, LED UV, special effects and cutting-edge AI to the full production mix.
UV + LED UV Innovation
Sheetfed and web offset take a leading role in UV and LED UV innovation: curing, inks, coatings and substrates. Extended gamut, food-safe packaging, sustainability and productivity connect the craft across offset, flexo and digital.
High-Value Print + Special Effects
Higher-value print, packaging and converting through sheetfed offset, web offset, flexo and digital. Embellishment, tactile effects and foil turn technical craft into work that commands a premium.
Applied AI for Print
Explore cutting-edge AI applications for print—from creative work and sales to estimating, workflow automation and production. Challenge what is possible with the leaders putting AI to work, and bring your next move into focus.
Cutting-edge AI runs through the whole agenda—from creative work and sales to estimating, automation and production. Explore the applications, challenge the possibilities and shape what comes next for print. Steve Metcalf, Print UV co-founder and a recognized print-industry AI keynote speaker and workshop leader, leads a special hands-on AI learning experience available only within the Print UV environment.
Who's in the Room
Practitioners, not spectators
Print UV is deliberately concentrated: the people presenting are mostly the people running UV and LED UV production every day, and the people listening run the businesses that depend on it.
Owners + Executives
Leaders deciding where UV, LED UV, embellishment and AI investment goes next — across commercial print, packaging and label converting — comparing notes with peers who run the same decisions.
Production + Operations Leaders
The people who run the presses, converting lines, curing systems and schedules — and who take process answers home on Thursday morning.
Technical + Color Experts
Ink, coating, substrate and curing specialists advancing extended gamut, food-safe packaging, label embellishment and the next special effect.
Supplier + Technology Partners
Sponsor experts embedded in the room — at the meals, breaks and receptions, not behind a distant booth.
Meals + Networking
The conversation never stops
Every meal, break and reception happens in the sponsor arena — so the exchange keeps going between sessions, and suppliers are part of the conversation instead of isolated in a conventional trade-show hall.
The week opens with a conference-wide evening welcome reception on Monday, and the relationship-building runs before, during and after the programmed conference — over breakfasts, chef-attended lunches and evening receptions shared with the people you came to meet.
Program Evolution
The content changes. The rhythm doesn't.
Every Print UV is rebuilt around what the industry needs next — on the same proven frame: an evening welcome reception, then two full content days led by working printers and supplier experts.
In 2025 that meant a live LED UV press demonstration at 20,000 sheets per hour, food-safe packaging in UV and LED UV, expanded-gamut color mastery, digital embellishment — and a closing keynote on applying AI to the printing industry that pointed directly at where 2027 goes next.
For 2027, high-value printing is the shared ambition. Sheetfed and web offset take a leading place alongside flexo and digital, packaging and converting. UV, LED UV and special effects retain their technical depth, while cutting-edge AI connects the business decisions and production craft that will move print forward.
