The 2027 Program

Three pillars. One conversation.

Three connected pillars advance one ambition: higher-value printing. Sheetfed offset, web offset, flexo, digital and cutting-edge AI come together in the same conversation.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

AI is woven through the whole agenda—brought directly into the business and production topics this audience already values, not parked in a side track.

Premium Effects / Illustrative

Foil, tactile coatings, cast-and-cure, dimensional embellishment—the work that earns a premium is the work this room runs.

AI at Print UV

Cutting-edge AI. Print’s next advantage.

Brought to you by

The AI program at Print UV 2027 is brought to you by Imagine AI Live — the AI-native conference series founded by Print UV co-founder Steve Metcalf. A widely recognized print-industry AI keynote speaker, Steve travels the industry helping printers put AI to work for a real competitive edge, and leads a hands-on learning experience built into the Print UV agenda.

It’s the first Imagine AI Live gathering since May 2025 in Las Vegas — an intensive, print-focused edition folded into Print UV 2027. That AI lens runs through the whole conference: printers already using AI share candid case studies—impact, use cases, obstacles and lessons learned—alongside panels comparing adoption journeys and what’s producing measurable value.

In Conjunction With

The Print UV 2027 AI program is co-produced with Imagine AI Live — the AI-native conference series founded by Print UV co-founder Steve Metcalf — bringing its practical, printer-focused AI program into Print UV.

The Shape of the Week

Monday night to Wednesday close.

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.

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.

Many attendees arrive early or stay late to make the most of the concentration of print and technology leaders in Las Vegas.

Venue / Destination

Encore at Wynn Las Vegas

One property, two rooms just down the hall from each other—no convention-center sprawl. The general session runs in one undivided room that keeps everyone in the same conversation; the sponsor hall a short walk away holds the exhibits, meals and receptions. Both sit steps apart—which is exactly why the relationships at Print UV are unusually valuable.

Attendees will have access to special negotiated rates on a first-come, first-served basis while rooms remain available in the conference block (room-block window: April 18–23, 2027). Group-rate extensions are subject to availability. The official hotel booking step follows a confirmed conference registration.

The proof is the room.

See what leading printers are doing now—and what is working. Past gatherings have filled the Encore ballrooms with owners, technical leaders and the suppliers advancing UV: two days of sessions, candid Q&A and hallway conversations that turned into business.
