In mid-March, the postponement of the drupa trade fair for
print tech to April 20-30, 2021, was announced. Sabine Geldermann, the director
of drupa and the global head of print technologies for organizer Messe
Dusseldorf, answered a few questions recently on the cancelation and plans
going forward. “Having weighed up all the parameters and in view of the
international trade fair calendar, the date chosen, 20-30 April 2021, is the
earliest and best possible date,” said Geldermann.
“Our
exhibitors will certainly present some of their innovations this year already,
using different formats such as customer events or digital platforms,” she
said. But those efforts don’t replace drupa, she said. “It is all about human
needs, haptic experiences and running machines that fascinate participants and
which definitely cannot be fulfilled at this point by digital media,” she said.
As a result
of drupa's postponement, the most important trade show in Messe Dusseldorf’s
international portfolio, All in Print China, in Shanghai in October, will become the largest
print trade show in 2020, she said. PPP Manila in October will provide an
additional platform. And indoprint in Jakarta ,
planned for September 2020, will also take place on schedule, according to
current planning. Those seeking more info can visit www.drupa.com and www.mdna.com.
