The Are Print and Pixels Competitive or Complementary? autumn event, which will take place on Monday 9 November, will present a raft of reactions to the findings of the controversial report from industry leaders including Tom Whitwell from the Times Online, St Ives group technical director John Charnock, and Publishers Association chief executive Simon Juden.
The forum will be chaired by HH Pegg chairman Nick Steidl on behalf of The Stationers' and PrintWeek editor Darryl Danielli. Other speakers include Robert Latham of Paperlinx Europe, Will Oldham of UPM and Bertrand Lousteau of Sun Chemical.
"The graphic communications industry is in the midst of great change and faces many challenges, not least those driven by huge leaps in digital technology. This step change in technology is no less impactful than when Caxton brought the printing press to England is 1476," said Nigel Stapleton, Stationers' industry group chairman.
"We are experiencing dramatic change in the dissemination and availability of knowledge to a wider audience. However, a total shift to electronic media may not be as inevitable as the current pace of change suggests."
