What is PRINTING United Expo 2026, and what scale is published?
PRINTING United Expo 2026 runs September 23-25, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, using the North & Central Halls. The site identifies it as Produced by PRINTING United Alliance. The organizer also lists 2027 as the next edition year, keeping that future date separate from this Las Vegas show.
Which print businesses are represented at the Las Vegas expo?
The organizer describes a floor spanning commercial, apparel, packaging, wide format and additional print markets. Two named destinations sharpen that range: the PRINTING AI Pavilion focuses on production technology, while the Apparel Zone covers decorated-apparel equipment and processes. These are current show-floor labels rather than inferred audience categories.
When is the 2026 expo open each day?
The official agenda lists Wednesday, Sept. 23 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Thursday, Sept. 24 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Friday, Sept. 25 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM closes the event. Wednesday and Thursday are therefore the longest floor days, with eight published hours each.
How many registration and floor hours shape each day?
The floor provides 8 + 8 + 6 = 22 hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Wednesday and Thursday, then 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM Friday. Registration runs 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM Tuesday, 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM Wednesday and Thursday, and 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM Friday. See the daily schedule planning method.
Which halls and floor-plan tools cover PRINTING United Expo 2026?
PRINTING United Expo 2026 occupies the North & Central Halls. The organizer says its interactive floor plan updates in real time. The official mobile app provides an interactive floor plan for exhibitor and product lookup. These sources establish both the physical hall assignment and the current navigation layer.
What parking and shuttle details are published for the LVCC?
The official housing block includes Complimentary shuttle bus service to the convention center. Onsite parking is listed at $20 per space, with same-day reentry subject to availability. The organizer recommends Silver lot 1-3 or Bronze lot 1-2. Overnight parking remains prohibited in the captured attendee guidance.
What do the 2026 registration passes cost and include?
Expo-only registration lists FREE - Alliance Member Smart Saver and $75 - Non-member for general admission. The nonmember Expo plus Paid Education price is $175 - Non-member and adds 50+ premium education sessions. Supplier, dealer, consultant and analyst categories have separate prices on the same registration page.
Which badge, minor and footwear rules apply at the expo?
Minors under 18 may attend only under the organizer's stated registration, supervision and official-hours conditions. Badge must be worn during official hours, and close toed shoes are preferred because heavy machinery operates on the floor. Media registrants have a lounge in Room #N243 on Wednesday, September 23, Thursday, September 24 and Friday, September 25.
Who runs the official hotel block and when do shuttles operate?
The attendee page states that onPeak is the official hotel provider for PRINTING United. Its block includes Complimentary shuttle bus service. Published service covers Wednesday, September 23, Thursday, September 24 and Friday, September 25, with the full windows listed by the organizer.
Which travel windows protect the first and final floor hours?
On Wednesday, September 23 and Thursday, September 24, shuttles begin at 7am; service on Friday, September 25 begins at 7:30am. The final Friday shuttle continues to 4pm, one hour after the 3pm close. Parking provides a $20 per space fallback. See the arrival and departure planning method.
How large is the published exhibitor floor and which zones stand out?
The organizer promotes 800+ exhibitors for the 2026 expo. The PRINTING AI Pavilion gives automation and production software a named destination, while the Apparel Zone concentrates decorated-apparel technology. Those figures and zones describe organizer-promoted scale, not an independently audited count of active booths.
What can the live exhibitor directory be used to research?
The interactive floor plan updates in real time, supporting current booth-location checks. Exhibitor listings may include 10 product categories, and signed-in planners can save favorite exhibitors, products, and sessions. Together, those functions support a working account list without treating a downloaded roster as permanently current.
Which education and award formats are confirmed for 2026?
The organizer promotes 70+ education sessions. Current show formats include Paid Education and G7+ Exchange, while the exhibitor-resource page also links the Pinnacle Awards. The PRINTING AI Pavilion and Apparel Zone add subject-specific floor programming alongside those education and recognition formats.
Where do meeting windows fit around the 2026 schedule?
The floor provides 22 hours from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Wednesday and Thursday plus 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM Friday. Registration runs 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM Tuesday, 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM Wednesday and Thursday, and 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM Friday; Media Day is September 22. The expo-only pass also includes happy hours. See the meeting-window planning method.
What do the organiser's audience figures establish for ICP fit?
The organizer promotes 30,000+ registered attendees, 800+ exhibitors and representation from 104 countries. These are promotional scale figures, not an audited buyer-role breakdown. They establish broad reach, while account-level fit still depends on whether the directory contains relevant commercial, apparel, packaging or wide-format companies.
How can the 2026 directory support a named-account shortlist?
The interactive floor plan updates in real time, which helps keep booth locations current. A listing can include 10 product categories, while planner accounts can save favorite exhibitors, products, and sessions. Those three functions support filtering and ownership without implying that every listed company is a target account.
What does the official PRINTING United Expo 2026 app do?
The official app can book appointments and browse exhibitors through an interactive floor plan. It adds blue dot technology for navigation, lists demos and sessions, and supports a personalized agenda. These are documented planning functions for the current app, not claims about lead capture or CRM export.
Where does the official planner stop and lead capture begin?
As of September 17, 2026, the current app and planner sources document appointments, navigation, schedules and exhibitor research. The checked exhibitor-resource, help-center, registration and planner pages do not identify a current lead-retrieval product, captured badge fields or export workflow. A scanner boundary therefore cannot be stated without inventing a vendor or capability.
Which verified exhibiting costs and contractor details are public?
The Expo Group is the confirmed 2026 services contractor and provides exhibitor services through SingleSource™. Exhibitors receive 5 badges for every 100 square feet of rented booth space with a maximum of 150; overages are $30 over allotment early and $40 over allotment onsite. Parking adds $20 per space. Base booth pricing remains unpublished.
The organizer also promotes over 16 million annual industry interactions across its editorial network, but supplies no public sponsorship rate in the captured page.
How many floor hours and productive-rep days should staffing cover?
The floor runs 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Wednesday and Thursday, then 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM Friday, totaling 8 + 8 + 6 = 22 hours. B2Brain uses 31 scans per day as its productive-rep benchmark, so one rep's three-day benchmark is 93 scans before qualification and meeting conversion. See the booth staffing calculation method.
Is a current official lead-retrieval product documented?
No current-edition product is proven as of September 17, 2026. The exhibitor-resource center, help center, registration page and 2026 planner were reviewed, but none names a lead-retrieval vendor or product. The vendor therefore remains UNKNOWN, and the Sanity comparison uses “On your own” instead of carrying forward a prior-edition supplier.
Which scanner fields, exports and device limits are published?
No 2026 scanner specification was found as of September 17, 2026. The reviewed official pages do not publish captured badge fields, custom questions, note support, export formats, device limits, offline behavior or current pricing. Those details depend on a proven product, so the draft records an evidence gap rather than a negative capability claim.
Can B2Brain be compared with an official 2026 scanner?
Not from the current public evidence. A product comparison needs verified event-scanner facts, but the checked 2026 pages name neither a vendor nor a product. Without a current order form, price or documented workflow, a side-by-side feature claim would invent the event half of the comparison and overstate what is known.
Can exhibitors calculate whether to use one capture tool or two?
No event-specific decision rule can be calculated as of September 17, 2026. The organizer has not published a current scanner price, device policy, captured-field list or export specification in the reviewed pages. Those missing inputs prevent a supported choice among an official tool, B2Brain or a combined workflow.
Which qualification fields match this expo's print segments?
The organizer's commercial, apparel, packaging, wide format taxonomy supports a primary print-segment field. Interest in the PRINTING AI Pavilion can identify automation or software priorities, while the Apparel Zone can identify decorated-apparel requirements. These event-derived fields are more specific than a generic industry label.
Can lead quality per floor hour be calculated from published data?
No defensible density figure is available as of September 17, 2026. The organizer publishes a promotional registration total but does not split unique attendance by day, hour or buyer role. Dividing the total by 22 floor hours would treat every registration as simultaneous qualified traffic, so the draft does not manufacture that ratio.
When should PRINTING United Expo 2026 leads be routed?
Friday, Sept. 25 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM sets the final close. Using B2Brain's reported about 85 percent within two hours and about 9 percent after one week, the first deadline is 5pm September 25 and the one-week point is October 2, 2026. The morning-after offline-to-pipeline report to the CMO by 9am and 100 percent event-to-CRM attribution through deal and opportunity creation, not contact sync alone define the reporting handoff. See the follow-up timing method.
Can verified ROI be calculated for this edition?
No. As of September 17, 2026, the reviewed exhibit, prospectus and exhibitor-resource pages do not publish a base booth price for a defined footprint, and no verified event-specific ACV is available. Badge and parking costs remain in the draft, but cost per meeting and return on investment are omitted rather than built from invented monetary inputs.
