On behalf of ICMA, I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the 2026 ICMA EXPO in Orlando such a meaningful and successful event. 

Each year, the EXPO serves as an important gathering point for the global card industry, but this year’s event was especially energizing. It was inspiring to see so many professionals come together to share ideas, explore new technologies, strengthen partnerships and invest in the future of our industry. From the exhibit hall and educational sessions to the conversations that took place throughout the event, the 2026 ICMA EXPO reflected the spirit of innovation and professional development that continues to drive our community forward. 

I would also like to express our sincere appreciation to our sponsors for their generous support. Thank you to FaceTec, sponsor of the keynote presentation and the NEXUS Stage; Fiserv, sponsor of the Welcome Reception; Vzual, sponsor of the Élan Awards Celebration; Giesecke+Devrient, sponsor of the event badges; and Ellipse, sponsor of the lanyards. Your support helped enhance the attendee experience and reinforced the strong collaboration that powers this industry. 

ICMA remains committed to providing opportunities for learning, connection and advancement across the card manufacturing and personalization value chain. The EXPO is a reflection of that mission, and this year’s event demonstrated just how important it is to create spaces where innovation can be shared, expertise can be strengthened and the next generation of industry progress can take shape. 

Thank you again to our attendees, exhibitors, speakers, sponsors and volunteers for being part of the 2026 ICMA EXPO. We are proud to serve this industry and grateful for your continued engagement and support.
