Held in Frankfurt, Germany from 17 November 2026 to 20 November 2026, FORMNEXT 2026, the Formnext Expo and Convention, is a leading trade event for the industry. Bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and industry decision-makers, it has become an important meeting point for the sector. Taking place every year, FORMNEXT 2026 has become a fixture on the industry calendar. A truly international crowd of about 38200 attendees is expected.

Set against the backdrop of Frankfurt, FORMNEXT 2026 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Frankfurt is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in Germany is rarely a hassle. When it comes to where to stay, Frankfurt offers everything from convenient venue-side hotels to boutique options in the heart of the city. Beyond the fair, Frankfurt rewards visitors with its food, culture and local landmarks. For visitors coming from abroad, Frankfurt is also a great gateway to the rest of Germany.

Exhibitors showcase Additive Manufacturing, Printing, Printing Industry, 3d Printing, Digital Manufacturing and Manufacturing, making it easy to discover new products, materials and business partners under one roof. It is an efficient way to meet multiple suppliers, see products first-hand and build new trade relationships in just a few days. With 804+ exhibitors taking part, there is no shortage of partnerships to explore. The entire programme is curated and delivered by Mesago Messe Frankfurt.

Visitors leave with new contacts, supplier leads and a clearer view of where the market is heading. For manufacturers, retailers and industry buyers, FORMNEXT 2026 remains a valuable opportunity to source, connect and keep pace with the market.
