Sponsored by WhatTheyThink Speakers Bureau

This one-hour event will include the latest data and analysis relative to the state of the economy and present a picture of what is ahead for print and media in 2010. Advance questions for the webinar Q&A session can be submitted by visiting WhatTheyThink’s Economics & Research Center and selecting “Ask Dr. Joe.”

“As we begin to see economic recovery,” said Randy Davidson, President, WhatTheyThink, “it will be important for owners and managers of printing companies to seriously consider the reshaping of their businesses for new market realities of 2010 and 2011.  Dr. Webb will provide specific insights that can help in this process as we approach the fourth quarter of the year.”

“The fourth quarter is likely to be a make-or-break proposition for too many print businesses” said Dr. Webb, “but it is also a time of opportunity for those who are making perceptive investments for the future.  Regardless of what happens with the economy, there are profit-making opportunities and we will highlight those in the session, along with the results of our latest reader survey.”

Topics to be addressed will include:

• The shape of the recovery: V, W, rocket, submarine, or a big fat zero?
• What's ahead for print and media in 2010
• Print technology investment survey
• Print '09: How did we do? What does it mean?
• Dr. Joe's Highly Colorful Fall reading list
