Couple of points
1. Hall 7 is absolutely prime. Last drupa it ended up launching five years of business directly related to contacts made at my booth there.It was called the INNOVATION. So the theme is comsistent with this year's DNA labeling.
2. Deborah, you mention CRAFT In case people wonder what that really means, it is VALUE. Doing things faster and reduction of labor are cost issues. Craft and service profile are the values that too many print operations neglect and end up relying on lowering price.
Have fun!

Robert!! I am with you on point 1. A few companies I saw exhibiting in Hall 7 at drupa 2016 are now global players. You got to be IN IT, to WIN IT! As for the craft of printing, we have always been on the same page. The need for speed to market and automation can blur the quality line as reducing jobs to 'sellable' vs SPECTACULAR increases the chasm between craft and commodity. As we create the future together at drupa 2024, I certainly hope some of it is paved with Printspiration!
