drupa reverts to 4-year cycle

Responding to the numerous demands voiced by exhibiting industry players, Messe Düsseldorf has decided to stick to its proven four-year cycle and organize the next edition of the show in Düsseldorf from Tuesday, 23 June, to Friday, 3 July 2020.
“The current drupa, with its outstanding business deals and positive atmosphere really stands out and has made one thing perfectly clear: “Its USP are the production lines and are in full operation here,” explained Werner M. Dornscheidt, President & CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, and added: “This is one of the reasons why drupa is such a beacon. Precisely this investment – this is what many representatives of the exhibitor community have assured us over the past few days here – they want to be at and with drupa in the future, their No. 1 international industry platform. Therefore in the interest of our customers and international markets, drupa will stick to its 4-year cycle.”
According to the organizers, the re-positioning of drupa 2016, its focus on future topics, as well as the shorter duration of eleven days have all proven to be correct decisions.
This year, 1,837 exhibitors from 54 countries showcased their innovations and applications for print and cross-media solutions in Düsseldorf’s 19 exhibition halls.
