HAN e-Newsletter Issue February 2008

Welcome to the first issue of e-news for 2008. The start of the year seems a long time ago with 2 months already under our belt. You will notice a new look with this issue which brings HAN's e-news in line with Heidelberg's recently developed design for all online news letters published around the world. Apart from this change the contents pretty much follow the same headings as before and as always we welcome your feedback to help us improve e-news.

Remember its only 93 sleeps to go to the greatest Show on Earth - drupa. If you haven't got yourself organised with flights and accommodation you had better get cracking. Here's a travel tip. We have found the usual airlines servicing the down-under routes to Germany becoming quite expensive, fares have gone up markedly as demand has out stripped seat availability. Have a look at Thai Airlines via Bangkok connecting with Austrian Airlines to Vienna and then Dusseldorf - the total flight and transit time is as good as it gets and the fares are better than most.  Keep an eye open for Heidelberg's press release following our drupa press conference on 6-7th March when the innovations to be shown at drupa will be announced - we will send this out as a special e-news issue and it will also appear in local trade media. Also look for our drupa mailer headed your way in March. In the meantime visit  www.drupa-heidelberg.com/en for more information about Heidelberg @ drupa.
