Australian printers attending drupa in May will have the opportunity to share the camaraderie with their New Zealand counterparts in a series of social events co-ordinated by Printing Industries.

A welcoming cocktail party will be staged on Friday 4 May from 6pm – 8.30pm at the Mercure Hotel Düsseldorf City Centre (formerly the Dorint Hotel).

The invitation only event is sponsored by the Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia (GAMAA ) in partnership with Printing Industries and PrintNZ.

Places are limited and registration is essential. You can download the registration invitation here, e-mail your acceptance to theresa@printnet.com.au or call (02) 8789 7322.

On Tuesday 8 May and again on Tuesday 15 May the traditional Happy Hour events, sponsored by Fuji Xerox, will be held from 6pm-8pm also at the Mercure Hotel.

Pre-registration is not required for the Happy Hours.

If you haven’t finalised your drupa bookings, there is still a small window of opportunity and some accommodation is available for week two.
