Organisers of the co-located The Print Show and The Sign Show have unveiled a brand-new feature for this year’s events – The Print Show Podcast Booth. Running throughout the events, the booth will play host to podcasters from across the print and sign industries, with both live and recorded sessions set to take place. The feature marks the first time The Print Show has offered a dedicated podcast and content creation space for exhibitors, visitors, and industry commentators. Located within The Print Show area of the hall, The Print Show Podcast Booth will operate in collaboration with both Ultima Displays and Eye on Display. Ultima Displays will support the feature with the design and build of the booth, while Jack Gocher, editor of Eye on Display, will host the feature area alongside his partner, Kathryn Ridout. Jack, who is also co-host of dedicated print industry podcast, JAM in the Print Room, will be hosting live interviews and discussions with exhibitors, visitors, and Knowledge Zone speakers. Industry professionals will be able to book sessions in advance to make use of the facility during the exhibition. With many print and sign podcasters expected to attend the events, the booth will provide a dedicated space for interviews, discussions, and content creation, helping exhibitors, visitors, and industry experts share insights with the wider market. Featuring large glass viewing panels, the new booth will also allow visitors to watch live recordings and gain a behindthe-scenes look at how industry podcasts are produced. Whether recording a podcast episode, conducting a video interview, or sharing insights from the show floor, attendees will be able to create engaging content and connect with the wider print and signage community throughout the events. Innovate and Engage Commenting on the new feature area at the show this year, Chris Davies, event director for The Print Show and The Sign Show, says it will help continue and expand some of the key conversations that will take place across the show floor during the two events. He adds that anyone keen to take part should declare their interest early on, with only limited spots at the booth this year. “Podcasting has become an increasingly important way for people across the print and sign sectors in order to share ideas, discuss industry trends, and engage with customers,” Davies explains. “By introducing The Print Show Podcast Booth, we’re creating a dedicated space where exhibitors, visitors, and industry experts can share ideas, discuss innovation, and engage with a wider audience before, during, and after the exhibition.” Gocher was equally as enthusiastic about the new addition to the show. He says the podcast booth will explore some of the key talking points, not only from The Print Show and The Sign Show this year, but also the wider industry – with many conversations to continue after the events have ended. “The Eye on Display team is honoured to host the new Print Show Podcast Booth. It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring the conversations, innovation, and excitement of the show to a much wider online audience. I am delighted to host the booth with Kathryn. We’ll be talking to visitors, exhibitors, speakers, and organisers throughout the show to keep people up to date on the new and exciting stories as they happen. “Whether we’re interviewing leading suppliers, speaking to visitors about the opportunities and challenges facing their businesses, or covering product launches from the show floor, the aim is to capture the energy and innovation that make these events so important to the industry.” The Print Show launches dedicated podcast studio for 2026 By Rob Fletcher 22 email: editor@printmonthly.co.uk July | August 2026 - Issue 361 printmonthly PrintMonthlyMagazine printmonthly_signlink printmonthly The Print Show Podcast Booth will run throughout this year’s event | NEWS
