The drupa World Tour 2019/2020 started on Sept. 10 in Mexico City and will continue until spring 2020. In September, seven more conferences and events will follow in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Canada, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.

A total of 35 trips to 27 countries worldwide are currently planned. The organizers of the drupa world tour are drupa organizer Messe Dusseldorf and PrintPromotion.

Delegations consisting of the CEOs of various printing press manufacturers and leading representatives of PrintPromotion and Messe Dusseldorf will present trends in printing and paper tech, innovations in the graphics industry and packaging printing and information on innovative applications in the field of industrial and functional printing, organizers say.

Among the trends are possibilities offered by artificial intelligence and changes afoot involving the so-called platform economy and the circular economy. The delegations will also report about the status of preparations for drupa 2020. The international trade fair for printing technologies will be held from June 16–26, 2020, at fairgrounds in Dusseldorf, Germany.

“We are looking forward to exciting meetings with industry experts, journalists and representatives of local media partners, industry and trade associations,” said drupa Director Sabine Geldermann of the tour.
