Hamilton--Glimpses of the Future

In many ways, this month's DRUPA is exactly the same thing, only with all the exhibits dedicated to printing and publishing.

For those of us who have experienced only a "traditional" trade show, it's hard to describe just how large this quinten-nial event really is. With 18 halls, all of which are about the same size as Chicago's McCormick Place North, there is absolutely no way a single person can begin to do more than sample the fare. In fact, just walking from Hall 1 to Hall 8—they're arranged in a large oval—is a 30-minute ordeal, even with the motorized sky-walks (the sort of thing envisioned by that World's Fair) that crisscross the fair grounds.
