With stories circulating about potential changes in paper prices and availability, we're using our Lunch & Learn conversation on April 2 to look at the current state of the market for book publishing papers. Our content leader for this month's session is John Crumbaugh, Senior Project Manager at on-demand equipment manufacturer HP.

John's extensive experience in paper, inkjet media, ink and hardware includes significant product and project work at HP. Before that, John was with Canon Solutions America, where he was responsible for the company's paper program, managing paper mill and merchant relationships and developing a strategic paper program designed to enhance media offerings across multiple inkjet and toner products.

In this Lunch & Learn, John will provide an update on the current state of the market for book publishing papers. He will spend the first 20 minutes of the session providing his perspective on these important issues. After that, we will open the conversation up to comments and questions.

Have a question you'd like John to address? Feel free to send it in advance to info@bisg.org. Lunch & Learns are always highly interactive, so you'll have a chance to contribute at the session even if you don't send a question in advance. To allow participants to speak—and not just type questions—these sessions are conducted in a Zoom meeting (rather than webinar) format. Please take a moment to ensure that your microphone is muted until you'd like to contribute. While we encourage you to attend the live session, the conversation will be recorded and shared with registrants after the session takes place.
