Kick-off for drupa 2024: Exhibitor registrations now possible
“drupa is the global meeting place for the industry and stands for innovations and trends,” emphasizes Erhard Wienkamp, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf. “Here we will see what impact the megatrends sustainability and digitalization will have on processes, products, business models, and the future of a constantly evolving industry.”
Focus on topics of the future
drupa will showcase cutting-edge technologies along the industry’s entire value chain with a special focus on future and cross-industry technologies. Against this background, topics such as circular economy, automation, print/finishing 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, the platform economy, and connectivity will play a central role in the conference agenda and at the special forums.
New key visual and new claim
drupa 2024 presents itself with a new, dynamic look and feel for the start of exhibitor applications. “The new motion design of our key visual combines classic graphic design with state-of-the-art digital technology and is synonymous with dynamism, motion, and especially with water as the most important resource on our planet,” explains Sabine Geldermann, Director Print Technologies Messe Düsseldorf. “It also visualizes the top themes digitalization and sustainability which drive the print & packaging industries, confront them with new challenges but also offer excellent opportunities.
International faces represent the target group of drupa which is looking forward to networking in a fascinating atmosphere characterized by diversity. Organic structures stand for aesthetics, design, and the beauty of nature. The new claim ‘we create the future’ underscores the clear commitment of the community to jointly and proactively participate in the continuous development and design of the sector. And it represents thought leaders as well as high-quality knowledge transfer.”
New exhibitor brochure sustainably produced
drupa is equally committed to the topic of sustainability – which is also successfully reflected in the new exhibitor brochure. Using state-of-the-art technology as well as environment-friendly resources this brochure was produced in a sustainable and climate-neutral way.
