On 29–30 October 2026, the Alte Kongresshalle in Munich will once again become a meeting point for agencies, designers, creative studios, buyers from major retail brands, printers and finishing specialists from across the German-speaking region. Known for its highly engaged and knowledgeable professional audience, the Creative Paper Conference brings together people who care deeply about how communication looks, feels and connects. This year, Europapier will be part of the exhibition—and we warmly invite you to visit our stand, explore an inspiring selection of paper samples and collections, and talk paper with us.
Creative Paper Conference 2026: Where Ideas Meet Material
As artificial intelligence becomes an established part of the creative process, technically polished design is easier to produce—and easier to overlook. The Creative Paper Conference 2026 asks what makes communication distinctive, relevant and trustworthy. Across nine inspiring lectures and three compact talks, experts from creative practice will share best-practice projects, working methods and behind-the-scenes perspectives on communication that stays in mind.
Beyond the stage, the large exhibition area brings the material side of communication to life. Leading names from the paper, printing and finishing industries will present new products and innovations, while breaks offer plenty of time to exchange ideas, make new connections and discover fresh perspectives. Dive into the complete, exciting two-day schedule.
Visit the Europapier Stand and Let Paper Speak
At Europapier, we believe that paper is never simply a background. It can set a mood, sharpen an idea, add character and turn a message into an experience. At our stand, you will be able to touch, compare and explore a broad variety of paper samples and curated collections—because the right paper is best discovered not only with the eyes, but with the fingertips.
Whether you are looking for a natural and understated surface, a richly coloured sheet, a structured or velvety touch, a transparent or metallic effect, a synthetic material or a paper made with alternative fibres, you will be warmly welcomed by our specialist teams from EU-RO and Europapier Deutschland. They will be happy to guide you through the possibilities. Bring your ideas, questions and current projects—we look forward to discussing the paper, print and finishing solutions that can help bring them to life.
Discover I AM PAPER: Europapier’s 8th Design Papers Collection
A special focus at our stand will be the 8th edition of the Europapier Design Papers Collection, I AM PAPER. Relaunched every two years to spark fresh ideas, the collection is much more than a catalogue: it is an invitation into the tactile, expressive and wonderfully diverse world of paper.
I AM PAPER places the material itself in the spotlight and celebrates paper as a creative partner—one that helps transform concepts into memorable objects and experiences. Its carefully curated selection captures paper in many personalities: natural, chalky, rough or softly velvety; textured, reflective, transparent or metallic; enriched with alternative fibres; and coloured in everything from subtle pale tones to deep shades and striking neon hues.
The collection itself has also been reimagined as an elegant upright box designed to take pride of place on a creative’s desk. Produced with Koehler Eco® Clay 120 g/m² and Koehler Eco® Mud 120 g/m², the box does away with the magnet used in the previous format, offering a more recycling-friendly solution once the collection has completed its working life.
Why the Creative Paper Conference Belongs on Your Calendar
Since 2006, the Creative Paper Conference has taken place every two years in Munich, creating a rare space where creative thinking, specialist knowledge and material inspiration meet.
