The Calvin Executive Breakfast Series connects, informs, and engages the business and organizational community with interesting and informative content delivered by ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ voices.

While technology, shifting consumer habits, and cultural changes continue to reshape the publishing world, books and the joy of reading remain as relevant as ever.

Will the printed page survive the digital age? Are book signings a thing of the past? What lies ahead for authors and publishers?

Join us for our first Executive Breakfast of the 2025–26 season as we dive into these timely questions. Jesse Myers, CEO of Baker Publishing, and Tom Betts, former publishing executive and current business professor at Calvin, will offer their expert insights on the evolving state—and promising future—of the book industry.
