Drupa 2008: The Olympic Games of the Print Industry

摘要

Drupa is to the printing and paper industries what the Olympic games are to athletes. Taking place every four years, the 2008 drupa trade fair is May 29 to June 11 in Diisseldorf, Germany. There are more than 1,800 exhibitors spread across an exhibition area of more than 170,000 sq meters and 400,000 visitors expected. "These figures once again underscore dru-pa's status as the world's No. 1 trade fair for the print and media industry," says Werner Dorn-scheidt, president and ceo of Messe Diisseldorf. "No other event has as profound and all-encompassing an influence on the economics and technologies of the print media industry as drupa in Diisseldorf." The 2004 show attracted more than 394,332 visitors, featured 1,866 exhibitors and took up more than 1.7 million sq ft of exhibit space.
