Last held in 2016, the print industry is once again looking forward to this tradition. We’re already hearing a lot of buzz surrounding this year’s Drupa event.
Exhibitor Expectations
According to event host, Messe Düsseldorf, the production of packaging and printed packaging are two areas which have also significantly gained in importance. From global players to aspiring newcomers and start-ups—the list of registered exhibitors includes but is not limited to Bobst, Canon, Comexi, Duplo, EFI, Epson, ESKO, Fujifilm, Heidelberg, Horizon, HP, Kodak, Koenig & Bauer, Kolbus, Komori, Konica Minolta, KURZ, Landa, Müller Martini, Ricoh, Screen, Windmöller & Hölscher, and Xeikon.
The Cube
One highlight of the event is The Cube, which serves as a central discussion forum for print and packaging leaders. Here, internationally recognized top speakers share presentations and panel discussions in line with the Drupa motto—Engage, Entertain, and Educate.
Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, has started building the topics covered in The Cube. Here, visitors find answers to key questions like why print is more important than ever in the digital age; why consumers don’t always see print products as sustainable; and how organizations can calculate their carbon footprint.
Located in Hall 6 of the Düsseldorf fairgrounds, The Cube serves as a place for unique knowledge transfer and networking. Speakers include thought leaders from the printing sector as well as personalities from advertising agencies, market research, academia, consulting, and associations who each provide in-depth insights on a range of topics.
