GRAPHICS PRO EXPO announces 2026 schedule change for Irving show
The GPX team is working with its show partners to reschedule the event for March 2027.
Cahaba Media Group has announced that Graphics Pro Expo (GPX) Irving will not be held in 2026. The company is taking time to reimagine the event historically held in Irving, Texas, and develop a show format that provides greater value to the print, apparel decoration, signage, and awards industry in that market.
The decision comes after several years of fluctuations in attendance at the Irving location. The GPX team worked closely with show sponsors and other key stakeholders in reaching this decision for 2026.
“We are committed to continuing to improve the GPX brand and delivering a trade show experience that truly serves this industry at a regional level,” said Matthew Conroy, president of Cahaba Media Group, parent company of GPX. “After careful consideration and analysis of recent attendance trends, as well as ongoing discussions with our returning exhibitors, we have decided to pause GPX Irving in 2026 with the goal of redesigning the event to better serve the needs of both our attendees and exhibitors.”
The GPX team is currently working with its show partners to reschedule the event for March 2027. The 2027 Texas event — as well as the 2026 shows — will feature updates across multiple areas, including additional educational programming, hands-on experiences on the show floor, and other enhancements designed to provide increased practical value for industry professionals.
GPX will continue to operate its scheduled shows in other markets in 2026:
- Long Beach, California — Aug. 13-15
- Cleveland, Ohio — Sept. 10-11
- Charlotte, North Carolina — Nov. 13-14
