Record exhibitor registration for drupa 2008

drupa 2008, print media trade fair, will be the largest in its more than 50-year history, with 1.8 million square feet of exhibit space in 19 halls and more than 1,800 exhibitors. The show will occupy the entire Düsseldorf fairgrounds—including all new halls—from May 29 to June 11, 2008.

“The registration figures confirm the status of the trade fair as the world’s number one event for the print and media industry,” said Werner M. Dornscheidt, president and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf. “The complete range of the global market’s offerings and each link in the value chain, from design to the finished printed product, will be showcased in Düsseldorf. Industry leaders and global players will share the floor with small, innovative companies at drupa.”
