The whole city is wearing red

2012 is a drupa year. For our trade fair team this means: rolling up their sleeves
and working hard! drupa is a top notch event. By the time the official construction work starts on the day after Easter, we’ll have run 60 drupa events in over 40 countries in order to attract potential visitors. After all, we’d like to see the most outstanding companies in Düsseldorf. Finally the time has come: from 3 to 16 May. We’re expecting over 1,850 exhibitors from more than 50 countries and about 365,000 visitors. This also has an impact on Düsseldorf which will turn into Drupa City for two weeks, wearing drupa red. The hospitality of this city and its many wide-ranging opportunities and facilities are partly why our exhibitors and visitors are so keen to keep coming to us. And in fact not just to drupa. In all, we are conducting forty of our own trade fairs and partnership events in Düsseldorf in 2012. By the end of the year we will have welcomed around 1.5 million trade fair visitors as well as some 700,000 visitors to Düsseldorf Congress. So we’d love to see you!
