EFI announces withdrawal from drupa 2021

Out of an abundance of caution for its employees, customers, prospects and partners, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. has announced it has cancelled its planned exhibit at drupa 2021, which is set to take place in Dusseldorf, Germany in April.

“With the limited amount of knowledge anyone can have right now about what conditions will be for public gatherings early next year, withdrawing from drupa 2021 is an unfortunate albeit prudent decision. All of us at EFI look forward to future drupa events beyond 2021 – and to other industry tradeshows – once the world has clearly moved past the current pandemic,” said Jeff Jacobson, chairman and CEO, EFI.

Since COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions for in-person events and sales operations, EFI has been hosting, and will continue to host, remote events and demonstrations for customers and prospects.

While EFI is committed to participating in live events when the risks of the pandemic have subsided, in the meantime, the company has also established opportunities such as EFI Engage, a virtual event for customers being held in place of its annual EFI Connect conference. EFI Engage will feature training, education, new technology news and partner developments for customers, and is set to take place from January 25 to February 5.
