Robyn Smith - President/Publisher: rsmith@nvpublications.com Len Prazych - Vice President The digital platform drupa preview https://preview.drupa. com opened on October 27. Over 1,900 visitors took part in panel discussions and live web sessions, receiving in- formation on current issues via keynote speeches and vir- tually connected with exhibitors and industry players. The proportion of international visitors was at 70 per- cent, with the top five countries being Japan, India, UK, the Netherlands and Germany. More than 14,000 pageviews also highlight the print community’s high level of interest in the content offerings. Around 1,400 exhibitors from 50 countries presented their products, solutions and appli- cations. The three areas “‘Exhibition Space,” “Conference Area” and “Networking Plaza” reflect drupa’s cornerstones digitally, bridging the communication needs between now and the next live event, to take place April 20-28, 2021, in Düsseldorf, Germany. “The drupa preview also has a special significance for Messe Düsseldorf: it shows that even in times of crisis we can offer solutions to keep the industries interacting and networking,” said Erhard Wienkamp, Managing Director Operative Trade Fair Business at Messe Düsseldorf. “We are working intensively on strengthening global commu- nication not only through our local events, but also by ex- panding new, virtual formats.” All web sessions and videos are available on demand at https://preview.drupa.com . The next drupa preview day with live web sessions will take place on November 17.
