Register today for free drupa briefings

Registration is now open for these sessions, which are organised by Printing Industries Association of Australia (Printing Industries) in conjunction with Messe Düsseldorf organisers of drupa, the world’s biggest printing industry exhibition, from 29 May – 11 June 2008.

Printing Industries ceo Philip Andersen, said that Mataré would provide an exclusive insight into the technology and business trends that are expected to make the exhibition the largest on record.

“Although we are still more than 12 months away, the organisers have sold more stands than ever and individual exhibitors are taking larger spaces than they have in the past 50 years,” he said.

“This is in stark contrast to the consolidation that has occurred in the supplier area and in the industry in general. The reason appears to be the huge growth in digital technology area with new services, software, and IT focussed products coming into the industry at a rapid rate.

“Mr Mataré will use the Sydney and Melbourne briefings to outline these trends that are sure to surprise many people. Our Industry appears to be far from contracting, but rather is set to benefit from new opportunities to prosper and expand that drupa will showcase.”

Mr Andersen said the briefing sessions would also provide full details of Printing Industries official industry tour, supa drupa, comprising some seven tour choices, a wide range of accommodation options for all budgets, details of Australian delegation on site briefings, networking opportunities such as dinners and Happy Hours and optional side tours.

“There are some great savings to be made right now if you are planning to attend drupa including accommodation and flight discount vouchers. Just pay a $200 deposit per person by the end of this week. Call Theresa on (02) 8789 7322 and save,” he said.
