drupa 2008, Solving a Complex Puzzle: An Interview with Werner M. Dornscheidt

Q: What will be different at drupa 2008 with regard to the exhibitors and the layout?
Dornscheidt: We want to make drupa as clearly structured and visitor-friendly as possible. The halls presenting “Digital Solutions” play a key role in this context. This area has been expanded since drupa 2004. Hall 8a and the new Hall 8b, as well as the adjacent Halls 5 and 9, are primarily reserved for exhibitors from this field, including major companies such as Xerox, HP Indigo, Agfa-Gevaert, Fujifilm, Kodak, Konica Minolta and Ricoh. When exhibitors like Canon reserve one thousand square meters of additional space for their booth at drupa 2008, it clearly indicates the relevance of this segment.
