What IPI CONFERENCE is
Industrial Print Integration (IPI) is ESMA's conference for print inside manufacturing — inkjet, spray coating and other jetting processes used in electronics, packaging, automotive, decoration and biomedical work. It is deliberately small and technical: two days of talks across three tracks plus a tabletop exhibition, held at the Crowne Plaza Düsseldorf-Neuss. The fifth edition runs 24–25 November 2026, with a pre-conference programme on 23 November.
