More Than 30 Exhibitors and Hundreds of Conversations

The venue at Poznań International Fair was filled with exhibitors, visitors, and professionals connected to the promotional products market. More than 30 exhibitors presented their products, solutions, and latest innovations, creating a space where inspiration met real business needs.

From the very beginning, it was clear that participants had come to Poznań not only to discover new products but, above all, to connect and engage in conversation. Direct interaction has been at the heart of the PIAP Connect concept since its inception.

Once again, the local trade show format proved its value. No crowds, no rush, and no random encounters—just quality time to meet new business partners, exchange experiences, and build meaningful relationships.

A Great Atmosphere That Encourages Networking

One of the key elements of the event was the networking area designed to facilitate informal meetings and conversations among participants. A comfortable lounge space and catering services allowed business discussions to continue in a relaxed setting.

Particular attention was drawn to the delicious sweet buns, which quickly became a favorite among visitors. Throughout the day, participants could also enjoy excellent coffee served by Unique Choice, a PIAP member company that helped keep everyone energized.

These details are what make PIAP Connect more than a traditional trade show. It is a place where relationships develop naturally—over a shared table, a conversation, or a cup of good coffee.

Representatives of the PIAP Board were also present, meeting with Chamber members, exhibitors, and visitors to discuss the challenges, needs, and future of the promotional products industry.

The Second Edition of PIAP Connect Confirms Its Value

Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk, and Poznań—four cities, dozens of exhibitors, hundreds of participants, and countless conversations. The second edition of PIAP Connect has clearly demonstrated the tremendous potential of local industry events and their ability to meet real market needs.

We are delighted to see growing interest with every event, as more and more companies take advantage of the space created by PIAP for networking, relationship building, and showcasing their solutions. The opportunity to meet the people behind the brands is what makes PIAP Connect increasingly valuable to the industry.

PIAP Connect 2026 Is Not Over Yet

Although Poznań was the final stop of this year’s exhibition tour, it is not the end of the PIAP Connect project.

The grand finale of the second edition will take place this September in Warsaw during the Marketing Festival trade show organized by OOH Magazine. This is where we will meet again at the PIAP Connect & Knowledge Conference, combining networking with practical knowledge, inspiration, and presentations from industry experts.

Thank you to all exhibitors, partners, and visitors for being part of PIAP Connect 2026. Together, we are creating a platform that genuinely connects the advertising and promotional products industry.

See you in September in Warsaw!
