Hi Mira - great to see your enthusiasm on print technology writ large, (and don't worry about leaving your continent, we're pretty civilised over here and some of us speak English properly!)
Don't let Eric and his team steal all of your time and as he said network, network and network. Listen to what the more experienced people say is interesting and go and see those exhibitors they are excited about, introduce yourself and get them to explain why their technology is important. Then make your own mind up.
Hope to meet you at the show, and remember the more experienced all had their first drupa and were just knocked out by the scale and activity, so don't get overawed. And enjoy the whole experience!
