The digital platform drupa preview will present a conference programme showcasing the printing industry’s hot topics one more time (23 February, 2021) before making way for the inaugural virtual.drupa in April 2021. Industry players including Bobst, Heidelberg and Konica Minolta are taking part in the preview event, confirming their commitment to the virtual drupa show.
Industry experts from participating companies and partner associations from drupa special forums, such as VDMA and epda, will cover topical issues and global trends, including Industry 4.0, Digitisation, Circular Economy, Sustainability, E-commerce and Platform Economy in their sessions and videos.
Manufacturers including Bobst, Heidelberg, Konica Minolta, Isra Vision, KNF, Leonhard Kurz, Saueressig, Synthgon, Trotec Laser and Voith will deliver “highly relevant transfer of knowledge, exciting interaction and stimuli for getting business back on track.”
With its three pillars (Exhibition Space, Conference Area and Networking Plaza), the fourth drupa preview since October 2020 will give visitors an idea of the added value virtual.drupa will be offering from 20 to 23 April 2021.
The virtual.drupa event was announced last year after the face-to-face format of the world's leading printing trade exhibition had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Bookings for the virtual event in April, which will culminate in a wide range of exhibitors showcasing their products and their company in digital showrooms, are already very strong,” say organisers Messe Düsseldorf. “Interaction, networking and lead generation will be driven by matchmaking options among industry experts, whilst continuous conference streaming will deliver fascinating content. This final drupa preview day will once again highlight to conference delegates, how live web sessions and video presentations are important tools for putting the spotlight on the key industry topics and innovations during these times of contact restrictions.”
