The industry is gathering.
Here's where.
Five programmes. One year. Every conversation that matters in print. GelatoConnect is present at all of them.
Leaders. Innovators. Builders.
Biannually, the most forward-thinking producers in the GelatoConnect network come together in one room. Four editions in, the conversations that happen here shape how this industry moves.
Not a conference, but a room full of peers. Every session is designed to produce something you can act on the following week.

The connections made at Summit turn into partnerships, referrals, and supply chain relationships that outlast the event by years.

200+ producers.
One ceremony.
Every year we recognise the operators, innovators, and leaders raising the standard for what print production can be. The 2026 ceremony took place at the Summit in Lisbon, in front of over 200 producers from across Europe, the US, and Australia.
Winners are selected from across the global GelatoConnect network, based on demonstrated results: operational improvements, growth achieved, partnerships built, and innovations deployed.

It was a very welcoming event. I learned a lot about the software, and what struck me was the hospitality of the Gelato team — everyone's very open.
