Lindsey Pearson, Whitmar Publications’ managing director, commented, ‘I’d like to thank Michael for his hard work and dedication on Digital Printer over these years. He has been responsible for taking the title to new levels, and I’m sure all our readers and partners would wish him well for the next stage in his career.

‘At the same time, I am delighted to welcome Paul to the business. He is a highly experienced publishing and editorial professional, who has successfully run his own media agency for more than a decade. I know that Paul will be a huge asset to the magazine, applying his skills and personality to represent Digital Printer and keep it at the forefront of the industry.’

Mr Sander has more than 20 years of experience in the publishing industry and since 2009 was the proprietor of Panda Media, managing a wealth of content, production and design across a range of B2B publications.

‘I look forward to taking over from where Michael has positioned the magazine, and will continue to deliver the high-quality editorial our readers have become accustomed to. Of course, with all new tenures there will be an element of cross-over, but also a fresh set of eyes and ideas. Getting out and meeting many of you is high on my agenda,’ commented Mr Sander.

Digital Re-Set will replace this year’s Digital Printer Awards, which has been cancelled because of ongoing restrictions around public gatherings. All 2020 entries will automatically be put forward into the 2021 Digital Printer Awards.

During the event, which will take place between 2.30 and 4.30pm on 26 November, editor Michael Walker will host a panel discussion featuring some of the country’s most successful and influential printers, all of whom re-set their businesses when their normal income streams dried up.

We will investigate how these printers opened up new lines of business and won new customers, providing unique insight into their strategies and exploring how companies can best prepare themselves for a future where what is ‘normal’ is constantly in flux.

Each of our panel members will give brief presentations explaining how they have navigated 2020 and where they plan to head in the future. We will touch on diversification, innovation and more, with the aim of providing practical advice that attendees can take away and apply to their own companies. 

We will also host virtual networking opportunities and there will be chances for members of the audience to propose questions to our panel. 

Speakers will be announced in the coming days and weeks, so make sure to mark the date in your diaries and click here to register.

This week there’s Heimtextil in Frankfurt and a couple of weeks later, EFI’s Connect annual conference in Las Vegas. March sees the Fespa Global Expo, this year in Madrid rather than a German city, with Sign & Digital UK at its usual venue of the NEC, Birmingham, in April. Come June and it will be time once again for drupa, the granddaddy of print shows, in its regular setting of Dusseldorf. Digital Printer will be previewing, visiting and/or reporting from all these to bring you news of the latest products, technology developments and market trends.

Some of that coverage will appear here online, but the show previews and reviews will only be in the magazine, so if you want the complete picture, you’ll need to look at both.

While the website access remains free to anyone, as part of our development of Digital Printer and its sister titles Digital Labels & Packaging and FlexoTech, we require our print edition readers to be registered.

Just because you currently receive a print edition, it doesn’t automatically follow that you will continue to – unless you have registered within the last year. Our un-registered circulations can extend to five years but we are now phasing them out. Over the next few issues we’ll be including carrier sheets that tell you whether your details are current or require re-registering. Look out for these, and if you get the ‘needs re-registering’ one, please take a moment to give us the necessary details, by post or online.

If you don’t yet get the print edition and would like to, you can register online. It’s simple, quick and gets you our full output of news and feature materials to help you understand the technology, spot the opportunities and develop your business.

There’s a lot coming this year, so register now to get all of it.
