After a last real edition in 2016, the Drupa trade show is preparing its return in 2024. The world's largest graphic arts event, which will be held from Tuesday, May 28 to Friday, June 7, 2024 in Düsseldorf, Germany, has just opened registration for exhibitors.
Manufacturers, distributors and other companies have until October 31, 2022 to reserve their space at the largest print technology show.
"Drupa is the global meeting place for the industry and represents innovations and trends." underlines Erhard Wienkamp, euroseurosdirector general of Messe Düsseldorf. "There we will see what impact the major trends of sustainability and digitalization will have on processes, products, business models and the future of an ever-changing industry."
Drupa 2024 will showcase new technologies concerning the entire industry value chain with a special focus on cross-sector solutions. Circular economy, automation, print/finishing 4.0, artificial intelligence, platform economy and connectivity will play a central role in the conference agenda and in the special forums.
Initially scheduled for June 2020, due to various government measures related to covid, the show had been postponed to 2021, only four months before its opening, then had been reduced from 11 to nine days before finally being cancelled. A 100% digital version had been set up in April 2021.
