The Type Directors club exhibition travels around the world. Here is a list of a few of the upcoming places you can see the exhibition and learn more about the club from Carol Wahler or other board members.

DRUPA
The world premiere of the 58th TDC show will feature with its own stand in Hall 6 (B 06); there, creative suggestions, artistic food for thought and the latest trends in visual communication can all be found amidst the wealth of technology and innovation. For the se-cond time the stand has been designed by students of the university of applied sciences in Würzburg under the guidance of TDC committee member Prof. Gertrud Nolte. The involvement of the students goes beyond the preparation and design of the stand: they helped build it and are in charge of the TDC show on site throughout the 14 days of drupa.

In 2012, works with the title “Awarded for Typographic Excellence” can be seen in the drupa cube in Hall 7A. Diego Vainesman, Presi-dent of TDC, and Carol Wahler, the longstanding and experienced drupa TDC director, are travelling from New York especially in order to congratulate the German winners personally on 03 May at 3.00 pm. An award in the TDC was for many designers the start of a great career because the selection criteria of the TDC show are strict, and the jury procedure is considered to be impartial.

drupa – the pinnacle for the printing industries

Every four years, hundreds of thousands of experts come to Düsseldorf for drupa. It’s an unmissable opportunity for seeing all the latest technologies in media production and processing live in action. No other trade fair has such a vast, fundamental economic and technological impact as drupa. drupa is a constant reflection of the printing and paper sectors.

We can look back on a millennial drupa in every sense of the word! Just from looking at the numbers, it becomes evident that this 12th staging reached new dimensions. Over 428,000 trade visitors from 171 countries – including over 200.000 from overseas – , more than 4,100 journalists from all over the globe, 1,957 exhibiting companies from 49 nations, and an exhibition space of over 1.7 million square feet- these are some record-breaking figures from the last drupa. But what’s quantity without quality? Exhibitors and visitors gave drupa 2000 top ratings; time and time again they referred to it as the “best drupa ever.” And it is true that drupa 2000 was marked by an unexpectedly high eagerness to invest, which rocketed the international printing and media industry right into the 3rd millennium.
