Kornit Digital Ltd., a global leader in sustainable and on-demand digital textile production, has brought together more than 500 industry leaders at Konnections 2026 in Hollywood, Florida. The three-day event serves as a key global platform for collaboration, innovation, and strategic alignment as the apparel industry accelerates its transition toward on-demand manufacturing.
Now in its third edition, Konnections has evolved into a significant industry gathering, uniting stakeholders from across the apparel value chain. Participants include leading fashion and sports brands, digital platforms, designers, software providers, fulfillment partners, investors, and media—all focused on advancing demand-driven production models.
Industry at a Turning Point
The apparel sector is experiencing a fundamental transformation as demand becomes faster, more fragmented, and increasingly influenced by digital platforms and creators. Brands are under pressure to improve speed, reduce risk, enhance sustainability, and maintain high-quality standards.
Konnections 2026 highlights this shift as an ongoing reality rather than a future concept, with technology enabling real-time responsiveness and agile manufacturing across global markets.
Advancing Digital Infrastructure
At the event, Kornit is showcasing key innovations that support this transformation. The introduction of Atlas MATRIX enables seamless, high-quality production across cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics within a single system, eliminating traditional limitations of digital manufacturing.
Additionally, Kornit is emphasizing its acquisition of PrintFactory, which enhances workflow automation and color consistency across both digital and analog production environments. This integration strengthens Kornit’s ability to support global producers transitioning to digital production while expanding its reach into the large screen-printing market.
Together, these advancements underline Kornit’s strategy to build a connected digital infrastructure that links demand generation, production, and fulfillment into a unified ecosystem. This approach allows brands to scale on-demand production globally while maintaining consistency, reducing inventory risks, and responding quickly to market trends.
“We are witnessing the gradual decline of traditional production models and the emergence of a new era in apparel manufacturing,” said Ronen Samuel, Chief Executive Officer of Kornit Digital. “Production is increasingly moving closer to demand, enabled by digital infrastructure connecting demand generation, production, and fulfillment. Konnections unifies the leaders shaping this transformation.”
Global Collaboration Across the Value Chain
Konnections 2026 brings together a diverse international ecosystem, with attendees from the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The event features keynote speakers such as Nick Beighton, former CEO of ASOS; Alex Saltonstall, CEO of the combined Printful and Printify platform; and entrepreneur Daymond John, alongside senior executives from leading global brands.
Showcasing Innovation in Action
A major highlight of the event is the Konnections Solutions Showcase, where Kornit presents its latest technologies, including Atlas MATRIX, Apollo, and Presto MAX PLUS systems. The showcase also features partner innovations across software, automation, robotics, and materials, demonstrating how integrated solutions can enable faster, more efficient, and highly responsive production environments.
Mr. Samuel concluded, “Konnections 2026 represents a defining moment for an industry increasingly shaped by agility, real-time production, and minimal waste. Konnections unifies the global ecosystem enabling this transformation and demonstrates how the future of apparel production is becoming a reality.”
With strong global participation and a focus on innovation, Konnections 2026 reinforces Kornit Digital’s leadership in shaping the future of on-demand apparel production through connected, scalable digital infrastructure.
