The response to the 2nd drupa preview day proved once again that the new digital format is an essential tool for staying in regular contact with the global community, stated Sabine Geldermann, Director of drupa and Project Director – Print Technologie at Messe Düsseldorf. At the virtual event, 1,383 exhibitors from 49 countries recorded about 15,500 page impressions. The panel discussions and live web sessions on November 17 registered over 3,848 participants. International top speakers provided important impulses on current topics, technologies and trends in the field of print and packaging solutions.
Participants had the opportunity to interact with the speakers via chat functions during live web sessions. In a second part, strategic advisor Kristin Kain and Marco Kersch, member of the Bertelsmann Group executive board, answered questions on how print can survive in a digital world. The proportion of international participants was 81 percent. All web sessions and videos are available on demand at: https://preview.drupa.com. The next drupa preview day will take place on December 8, 2020.
