Don’t Let Your Business Live In One Head
The Online Print Coach, Colin Sinclair McDermott, makes the argument that whether it’s yourself or a key individual in your company, relying on “invaluable” people could be the biggest risk to your business
From what the industry will be launching and demonstrating to the megatrends discussed and unpicked, we look at what you can expect to see at drupa 2024
With drupa having last taken place back in 2016, there is, understandably, a lot of talk and anticipation for the upcoming exhibition. Held in Germany at the Messe Düsseldorf, the event is the largest printing equipment exhibition in the world amassing over 260,000 visitors at its last show.
Launched in 1951, drupa usually takes place every four years but has had an eight-year in-person hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic with organisers holding a virtual drupa in 2021 in its place.
This year, drupa will take place from Tuesday, May 28th to Friday, June 7th and will see products from pre-press, print, post-press, converting, packaging, materials, equipment, finishing, and software all showcased.
The theme for the 2024 event is ‘We Create the Future’ with a number of key topics at the centre of the show’s focus. These include Sustainability, Circular Economy, Resource and Energy Efficiency, Recycling, Digitalisation, Print 4.0, Finishing 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, Platform Economy, and Connectivity.
The megatrends that encompass these themes and that will be reflected in the event’s in-show features are Sustainability and Digitalisation.
Highlighting these themes will be three Touchpoints across the 18-hall event: Touchpoint Sustainability (Hall 14, Booth D60), Touchpoint Packaging (Hall 3, Booth B31), and Touchpoint Textile (Hall 4, Booth B30) featuring a digital textile micro-factory.
