CHILI publish has taken the decision to cancel is participation at drupa 2020 in light of the ongoing worldwide COVID-19 outbreak.

drupa 2020 is scheduled to open its doors on 16 June in Düsseldorf, Germany. CHILI publish was set to have a stand to welcome visitors from all over the world to demonstrate the new features within CHILI publisher, its software to simplify and automate the production of graphics.

By putting the health and safety of its global team first, the CHILI publish management hopes to further reduce large-scale exposure to coronavirus (COVID-19) and ensure business continuity, as Kevin Goeminne, the company’s, CEO, explained.

‘drupa is the highlight for anyone in print and packaging. Our team worked hard to deliver new features within the Smart Templates in CHILI publisher, as requested by B2B printers, brand owners and agencies. However, we have a responsibility towards our team, partners, customers and the whole community worldwide to ensure that business continuity and full operability prevail at all times.’

Confirmed customer and prospects meetings to showcase the new features in CHILI publisher are being rebooked to individual meetings, dedicated webinars and online (1-1 and/or group) meetings. The company is currently investigating alternatives to reach and serve the drupa visitor audience, with new features to be announced as scheduled towards the end of April.
