Print Solutions

In times of profound market transformation, the Print & Digital Convention once again proved its significance as a central platform for innovation, exchange, and future strategies. Combining a trade fair, conference, and hands-on applications, it once again made Düsseldorf a key meeting point for the print, media, and communications industry – sending a clear message: the industry is evolving, well connected, and forward looking.

From May 13 to 14, visitors to the event had the opportunity to learn about the latest technologies, practical applications, and strategic solution approaches. Brand owners, agencies, production managers, and communication professionals alike found concrete inspiration for their projects – and experienced how print and omnichannel concepts can work together successfully in integrated strategies.

With over 40 exhibitors and a high calibre lecture programme featuring around 40 sessions, the conference trade show reinforced its position as key meeting point for the print, media, and communications sector.

Especially popular were the hands-on highlight projects, developed in collaboration with partners across the entire value chain. These projects demonstrated how technology, creativity, and strategic thinking can be combined to achieve success in modern marketing.

Sabine Geldermann, director of drupa at Messe Düsseldorf, also highlighted the special relevance of the event, saying: ‘The Print & Digital Convention has become a fixture in the industry calendar, not least because it offers guidance, inspiration and practical solutions. It impresses with its practical relevance, innovative applications and in-depth expertise, and strikes a chord with the industry.’

Following the successful launch of the ‘Youngster Talent’ Initiative in previous years, several vocational schools once again participated with their classes – seizing the opportunity to experience current topics, technologies, and real world applications first hand. Combining classroom knowledge with practical insights and direct interaction with exhibitors and experts helped deepen their understanding of industry trends and laid the groundwork for valuable networking and sustainable talent development.
