Personalisation Experience 2026

The Personalisation Experience is Europe’s premier trade show dedicated exclusively to the future of personalised production. Recognized as a flagship event within the FESPA Global Events calendar, it brings together professionals who are driving innovation in customised products. From design and production to marketing, the event caters to anyone involved in creating tailored solutions or looking to enter this rapidly expanding market. Each year, the event travels to a different European city, reflecting the diversity of the region and drawing an international audience from the creative industries, commerce, and marketing sectors.

Exploring the Future of Personalised Production

At the heart of The Personalisation Experience is the SmartHub, an interactive showcase of advanced technologies for intelligent, scalable, and sustainable production. The SmartHub demonstrates how modern tools and methods can transform personalised manufacturing from concept to execution. Visitors experience real-world applications, including:

• AI-generated designs tailored to individual customer preferences
• Automated workflows that streamline production
• Variable data printing for GDPR-compliant personalised communication
• On-demand production systems applicable to garment decoration, interior design, and giftware

By combining innovation with practicality, the SmartHub illustrates how companies can harness data, creativity, and technology to unlock new business models and respond to growing consumer demand for personalised products.

The Smart Factory Trail: Demonstrating Innovation in Action

A key highlight of the event is the Smart Factory Trail, where attendees witness live demonstrations of how highly personalised products are manufactured efficiently and sustainably. Through interconnected systems, creative software solutions, and innovative production techniques, the trail offers insights into:

• Reducing waste while producing customised goods at scale
• Implementing sustainable and energy-efficient production methods
• Integrating smart machinery and automated processes for seamless operations
• Optimizing supply chains for faster delivery and enhanced customer satisfaction

This hands-on experience allows professionals to see how personalisation can be both profitable and environmentally responsible, bridging the gap between concept and market-ready production.

Education and Networking: The SmartHub Conference Programme

The exhibition is complemented by the SmartHub Conference Programme, which brings together international experts to explore emerging trends and strategies in personalised production. Key features include:

• Expert keynotes offering insights into data-driven personalisation
• Case studies highlighting successful implementation of personalised products
• Panel discussions focused on creative production methods and customer engagement strategies

Through these sessions, attendees not only gain knowledge but also establish valuable connections with peers, suppliers, and thought leaders across the global personalisation sector.
