IPI Conference 2025: Two Days That Moved Industrial Print Forward
The fourth edition of Industrial Print Integration delivered two days of concentrated insight and collaboration in Düsseldorf-Neuss. With 59 presentations across three tracks and a buzzing exhibition of 56 tabletop stands, IPI 2025 reaffirmed its role as a key meeting point for the industrial, functional and specialist print community.
The event started with a strong technical focus: a fully booked waveform training drew participants eager for hands-on optimisation techniques before the main programme began. From there, the conference unfolded into an intensive blend of research updates, application case studies, and forward-looking technology previews.
Attendees highlighted that blend as central to the event’s impact. Jacob Ørum from LEGO described IPI as a place that reveals “what’s now and what’s coming” in innovation. Across the exhibition floor, where major suppliers stood alongside start-ups and research labs, conversations flowed easily. “A seamless mix between technical talks and networking,” noted AGC Automotive’s Samuel Machi, calling the format “purpose-built for collaboration.”
For newcomers, the value was equally clear. Gianmarco Zaccarini of GRAF Industries called his first visit “a full immersion in mind-opening presentations,” while AVA CAD CAM’s Duncan Ross praised the event simply as “enjoyable, knowledgeable, good networking.” AT Inks’ Pradeep Koyadan distilled the consensus into a single line: IPI is “where innovation meets technical excellence.”

Proven Track Record
ESMA conferences have been promoting industrial print applications for more than 15 years now. Events such as GlassPrint, Advanced Functional & Industrial Printing, Printed Interior Decoration and Direct Container Print have been successfully showing the way for printing on glass, plastics, aluminium, textiles, ceramics, wood and other materials. Today, ESMA is building new bridges for specialised markets, helping them understand the advantages of print.
Countdown to IPI
The event for printing in various manufacturing processes returns on 24-25 NOVEMBER 2026
