Exhibitor registration for drupa 2028, the world’s leading trade fair for printing solutions, is now open at www.drupa.com. From May 9 – 17, 2028, the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany, will again become the global stage for integrated printing technologies, automated production processes and industrial applications. The exhibitor registration deadline is October 31, 2026.
drupa 2028 will bring together the international print and packaging community across all industrial processes – from machinery and technology providers to software and workflow specialists, brand owners, designers and the creative industry. No other platform offers the opportunity to experience integrated solutions, networked workflows and running machines live in such concentration and diversity.
“drupa is the ultimate international platform where vision and reality meet,” says Wolfram N. Diener, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf. “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.”
Focus on future technologies and collaboration
In terms of content, drupa 2028 will focus on end-to-end solutions as well as automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, materials and the circular economy. The trade fair is thus specifically expanding 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 program will again make drupa a central platform for knowledge transfer, technology comparison and strategic orientation.
This new direction in terms of content is accompanied by a new, expressive and distinctive visual identity that makes the focus of the world’s leading trade fair visible and tangible. The new look consistently focuses on networked, systemically conceived printing and packaging solutions and positions drupa as a global stage for industrial solutions.
Interface with brands, designers and creative professionals
This also goes hand in hand with an opening 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,’ says Sabine Geldermann, Director 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.”
