Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd will host Print-Ed 2026 on 11th–12th March in partnership with ACPME (Association of Creative Print Managers in Education). The two day event will welcome in-house print and creative leaders to Konica Minolta’s Client Engagement Centre at Houghton Regis, for peer led learning, technology insight, and sector wide collaboration – with web to print being a key topic.
This year’s event also marks an important milestone for ACPME as it evolves into the in-house Creative & Print Alliance (ICPA). The new identity reflects the organisation’s expanded commitment to support the in-house print and creative community working across corporate, public sector, and non-profit environments.
Ollie Renshaw, Vice-Chair 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.”
Print-Ed 2026 will feature roundtables, hands-on demonstrations, and practical roundtable discussions on workflow automation, sustainability, creative integration, and the evolving role of in-house print rooms. A perfect opportunity to network with peers and experts, the event is focused on real world experience sharing.
Glyn Williams, PP & IP Channel Manager – Private & Public Sector at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd also 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.”
The transition to ICPA and the launch of Print-Ed 2026 signal a renewed commitment to strengthening the future of in-house creative and print operations, ensuring teams have the support, community, and insight they need to thrive.
