The Discover Zone is the heartbeat of HP events, your area for conversation and investigation. Covering two floors at the Messe Frankfurt, it featured pavilions, demo theaters, kiosks, tours, our plenary main stage, and more — all centrally located.
Not your traditional expo, the Discover Zone is about engaging with HP, partners, innovation, and technology. With whiteboards, seating, and open gathering spaces you get your questions answered and solve problems right then and there with experts and colleagues. It’s about two-way conversation, and is full of productivity tools and ways to get the very most out of your visit to Frankfurt.
