2026 AIGA Chicago Paper Show

AIGA Chicago is bringing paper shows back to the design community! With our paper show this spring, we're offering the chance for designers to engage one-on-one with paper mills and printers, so that creatives can connect with their local reps and experience the best offerings and products. We'll kick the night off with a VIP cocktail hour, followed by a featured panel who will discuss the power of print to open up general admission.
