Significans Automation is pleased to announce that we will be returning as proud Silver Sponsor of the Wide-Format Summit 2026, for the FOURTH year running – taking place July 27-29 at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs, Florida.
Hosted by PRINTING United Alliance, NAPCO Media, and Wide-Format Impressions, the invitation-only event brings together senior executives, business leaders, and industry experts to discuss the technologies, strategies, and innovations shaping the future of wide-format printing.
The Summit has become one of the industry’s most valuable forums for exploring operational excellence, business transformation, and emerging technologies. Covering textile, roll-to-roll, and flatbed applications, the event provides attendees with strategic insights into the solutions that are helping print businesses improve efficiency, increase profitability, and prepare for future growth.
For Significans Automation, the sponsorship dates back to 2023 and represents an opportunity to continue important conversations around workflow automation, software integration, artificial intelligence, robotics, and connected manufacturing.
Building on a Successful 2025 Event
Our team is particularly excited to return following a memorable 2025 Summit, where Significans Automation was honored to be nominated for Best Case Study Presentation in the Flatbed Graphics category.
Presented by Marc Raad, President of Significans Automation, the session highlighted how Work House Signs transformed its operations through automation despite operating with a team of just eight employees.
Managing more than one million active product designs across multiple ecommerce channels, Work House Signs faced significant production bottlenecks caused by manual file intake and preparation processes. Through a customized automation solution incorporating Enfocus technology, Significans Automation’s Fuzzy Matcher application, and the S-Launch submission platform, the company dramatically streamlined operations.
The results demonstrated the power of automation to help smaller organizations scale efficiently:
- More than 160 hours recovered every week
- 3,024 hours of work processed in approximately six hours
- Improved file preparation and layout optimization through intelligent automation
- Greater operational capacity without increasing headcount
The recognition was a reminder that automation is no longer reserved for large enterprises. With the right strategy and implementation, organizations of any size can unlock significant gains in productivity, consistency, and profitability.
Why the Conversation Matters More Than Ever
Last year’s Summit opened with research highlighting a challenge many print businesses continue to face. While the vast majority of wide-format printers recognize automation as critical to maintaining competitiveness, many organizations still struggle with disconnected systems, workflow complexity, and integration challenges.
These obstacles continue to create unnecessary manual touchpoints, slow production, increase operational costs, and limit growth potential.
As the industry continues to evolve, automation is becoming a business requirement rather than a future initiative. Organizations that successfully connect their systems, standardize processes, and leverage intelligent automation are positioning themselves to respond faster, operate more efficiently, and better meet customer expectations.
See you in Florida
Set against the backdrop of Bonita Springs on Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast, this year’s event will bring together forward-thinking print leaders, and the Significans Automation team looks forward to discussing how smarter workflows, software integration, and automation can help businesses achieve new levels of efficiency and growth.
Whether the conversation focuses on workflow automation, software integration, AI-driven production processes, ecommerce connectivity, or robotics, our goal remains the same: helping businesses eliminate inefficiencies and create scalable, future-ready operations.
We look forward to reconnecting with industry peers, sharing real-world success stories, and exploring the next generation of automation solutions that are helping print businesses work smarter.
If you’ll be attending the Wide-Format Summit 2026, we would welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss your automation goals.
See you in Bonita Springs this July.
