Europe: Exhibition drupa to switch to three-year cycle after 2016 edition

The exhibition for print and cross-media solutions drupa will switch to a three-year cycle after 2016, when it runs from 31 May to 10 June, according to the show committee.

“The entire print process chain has changed radically because of the Internet and digital technologies,” says Claus Bolza-Schünemann, chairman of the drupa Advisory Board and president Koenig & Bauer Group.

“New applications and solutions are developing and opening up new fields of business. At the same time, there is more focus on innovative technologies, such as three dimension printing, printed electronics and functional printing.”

This move means that the show will no longer run in 2020, the same year as trade show interpack.

“The drupa exhibitors who specialize in packaging printing would have found 2020 an incredibly stressful year so the change will clearly benefit customers,” says Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, president & CEO Messe Düsseldorf.

drupa will take place in the month of May in 2019, 2022 and 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
