Record registration results for drupa 2008

摘要

It's official - drupa 2008 will break all previous records. With some 170 000m~2 of net exhibition space (roughly equivalent to 40 soccer fields) and exhibitor numbers topping 1 800, the print media fair to be staged from May 29 to June 11, 2008, will be the biggest ever in its more than 50-year history. This will entail the use of the Diisseldorf Trade Fair Centre's full capacity, including all new additions. There were already indications of this trend last year, shortly before the official close of registrations on October 31. Increases to leading international technology suppliers' space requirements, plus larger-scale joint presentations from Asia, in particular, were the major factors influencing this result.
