When it comes to thorough investigations and one-on-one comparisons of the products and services presented by international leaders in technology, no other event comes close to drupa. Most visitors arrive at the fair with clearly defined areas of interest in mind. To smooth the way for trade visitors to gain an overview of individual themes, guided tours spotlighting current industry developments will be staged at drupa 2008. The palette of topics runs from workflows and web2print through offset and digital printing to packaging production and finishing.

Participants in groups of a maximum of ten people will be taken to between six and eight choice exhibitors relevant to the tour. Someone in the know will be on hand at each exhibitor stand visited. “Thanks to the careful selection of exhibitors visited, tour participants lose no time in collecting plenty of useful information, so optimizing their visit to drupa,” says Bernhard Niemela, editor-in-chief of Deutscher Drucker magazine, summing up the Highlights Tours’ concept.

Due to drupa’s increasingly international profile, the 2008 tours will not only be conducted in German and English but also, for the first time, in Chinese, Spanish and French. “With this range of language offerings, we hope to cater to the diverse mix of visitor nationalities,” says Manuel Mataré, drupa Project Director of the expanded service.
