Contribute to HdM’s WORLD PRINT CAMPUS during drupa 20 – 30 April 2021
Following the weeklong printing workshop in Stuttgart, participants are invited to join HdM's Bachelor programme Print Media Technologies, to present the future of print media education at ‘drupa’ in Düsseldorf (Germany), the world largest exhibition show. The exhibition will be present for10 days, comprising of a 2200 square foot (approx. 220 qm) booth in Hall 7a.
The exhibition booth area will be divided in three zones: communication, information and education, whilst Hochschule der Medien and her partner universities will be united under one logo: World Print Campus.
Drupa will give all of us the unique opportunity to interact with each other in situ, exchange ideas and to attract industry partners and hopefully new students. Our international students will be present for communication with the public.
To support our endeavour and to attract visitors, the World Print Campus will reveal drupa's largest printed wall picture (6 x 30m) in the background of the exhibition booth displaying the categories in an allegoric photographic representation revealing a breath-taking image resolution. Every partner university is invited to represent their university in booth.
