drupa, the world's leading trade fair for printing solutions, is now accepting exhibitor registrations for its next edition scheduled for 9-17 May 2028.
Düsseldorf will once again become the global stage for integrated printing technologies, automated production processes and industrial applications.
Companies from all over the world can now apply to be an exhibitor for drupa 2028 with the registration deadline being 31 October 2026.
drupa 2028 brings together the international print and packaging community across all industrial processes – from machine and technology providers to software and workflow specialists, brand owners, designers and the creative industry.
Offering the opportunity to experience integrated solutions, networked workflows and running machines live in such density and diversity, Wolfram N. Diener, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, said drupa is the ultimate international platform “where vision and reality meet”.
“Partnerships across the entire value chain are crucial for successfully transforming new technologies into marketable solutions and jointly shaping the next stage of development in the industry,” Diener added.
In terms of content, drupa 2028 will focus on end-to-end solutions, as well as automation, robotics, AI, materials and the circular economy, and the event organiser has specifically expanded its range of exhibitors to include topics that are becoming increasingly important for industrial production, efficiency gains and sustainable business models.
Showcases, thematic touchpoints, workshops, panels, masterclasses and a high-quality conference programme will once again make drupa a central platform for knowledge transfer, technology comparison and strategic orientation.
Also, in a bid to open up to new target groups, drupa 2028 will increasingly focus on brand owners, designers and creative professionals from the print and packaging sectors who are driving forward new areas of application and business models.
“The combination of technology and creativity is what determines competitiveness and market success today,” said Sabine Geldermann, director for drupa, Portfolio Print Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf.
“drupa is the world's leading platform where technological innovations are brought together with specific market requirements and translated into marketable solutions.”
