About Global Wide Format Conference

Global Wide Format Conference is a printing and publishing conference taking place December 15–16, 2026 at Centro de Exposiciones Jockey in Lima, Peru. It runs for two days, opening on Tuesday and closing on Wednesday. With about 10 weeks to go, exhibitors still have time to order booth services and book hotels at reasonable rates.

Shows like this one typically draw print service providers, publishers, packaging converters, designers, marketing buyers and equipment dealers. We have not been able to confirm an official website for this show yet, so contact the organizer before making any plans.

What to expect at Global Wide Format Conference

Printing and publishing shows are hands-on, with presses, finishing equipment and samples running on the floor. Visitors compare output quality, speed and running costs.

Two days go by quickly. Book your most important meetings for the first morning, when visitors are fresh, and keep the second afternoon for follow-up conversations at the booth. Expect most visitors to be print service providers and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

• Plan equipment power and installation with the organizer early.

Booth tips for Global Wide Format Conference

• Run jobs live and hand out samples; output quality sells itself.
• Ask about current volumes and equipment to size the opportunity.
• Collect files or specs visitors want to test after the show.
• Walk the hall at Centro de Exposiciones Jockey during move-in to see which entrances and aisles carry the most traffic, and set up your booth so it faces that flow.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• If you expect local buyers in Peru, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
