Global Gypsum Live took place during the Covid Pandemic. We hope it won't be back again any time soon!
"Among the cascade of webcasts we're all receiving these days, I'd rank yours #1." Robert Jutson, Griffin Capital, New York
Global Gypsum Live was one hour of discussion - live - of the latest global gypsum news from around the world, including the latest on the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the gypsum industry.

What did the attendees say (selected comments)
- Went very well. Good to join with others in the industry.
- Great job Rob and team for a first GG Live.
- Very good initiative
- Great to have a global view on the gypsum market during this pandémic era, with up to date data.
- It was very informative and knowledgeable session
- Like the fact that you reached out via a webinar, allowing more people to get in touch with you.
- It was good. It is an alternate way to get-together live on line and share informations.
- Good: Presentations vey well done. And pace was very good.
- I enjoyed it and I think it is a way to keep the interest and energy going during the pandemic and may even lead to some new lasting practices. For one thing, it allows a lot of people to become involved who might not otherwise due to time, cost, travel, limitations.
- In the absence of travel and absence of industry information, this was a real refreshment. Thank you for your commitment and effort. It was an honour to be together again.
- We got a very good update about the COVID-19 Situation worldwide and the positive Signal that the next Global Gypsum Conference will take place in April 2021 in Lisbon.
- That was a ground breaking global gypsum live event. Corona virus causes thinking out of the box.
- Just to congratulate you due to your great capacity to adapt your activities to the difficult situation of the pandemic and be able to keep us informed. Thanks a lot.
