Duplo turns up creativity volume with summer festival
Missed out on Glastonbury tickets? Can't make the Isle of Wight Festival? Duplo has just the answer. The print finishing pioneer is staging its own two-day festival on June 14 and 15.
The "Celebration of Creativity in Print" will see the back of Duplo's Addlestone, Surrey-based head office and warehouse transformed into a festival field, with a full-blown stage, comedy tent, bar and festival-style food concessions.
Homegrown talent will take to the stage from midday until 10pm on the first day, with further performances from midday to 4pm the next. Music will be performed by the great and the good from the industry. The line-up will be announced soon.
One field will be dedicated to Duplo's headline-making systems - including a special guest who will be revealed at the event - along with the creative solutions of our event partners at Renz, Vivid, Friedheim International and Infigo Software.
"My vision is to create a uniquely different event for our industry; a chance to celebrate print in the sun, listening to music from some of the industry's best talent," said Peter Jolly, UK Marketing Director. "Doing another open house would have been easy but we wanted to have some fun and bring people together to celebrate print.
"We've uncovered a huge amount of talent already but there's still space for more if anybody's interested in getting involved.
He continued: "The talent taking to the stage will shine alongside our range of print finishing solutions that will be putting on their own show-stealing sets."
Duplo Summer Festival 2017 attendees will be encouraged to join in the fun, put on their best festival attire, and enjoy the themed food and drink on offer.
