Frank places drupa 2024 in historical perspective. He tracks and compares attendance and number of exhibitors over the last 24 years. Although the number of exhibitors has remained over 1,600, the number of attendees has dropped from 450,000 to 170,000. It is still a substantial and significant audience.

Excellent statistical analysis, Frank.
There is one other statistic that I’d be very interested in: How many people unable to attend followed the online DRUPA coverage very carefully to learn of the new technologies and other industry developments presented? I could not attend but followed the media coverage closely. It was excellent. I felt as if I was there. I anticipate that had it not been for the expected electronic coverage, the number of people that attended might have been higher than those actually there. Such a survey would be quite interesting, and possibly helpful to the DRUPA organizers and to other associations planning industry expositions. Again, thanks for the analysis.
