Digital Minds Conference 2012 New Markets: New Models

• Digital is at the heart of all publishing activity. And publishing is just one of many converging creative media industries disrupted by technology. Film, gaming, music, web, video are fast changing too, offering fresh thinking to help drive publishing businesses forward in innovative ways.

  Running concurrently with the main keynotes, panels, case studies and Nimble New Start Ups, is a round table ‘Join the Conversation’ stream. ‘Conversation starters’, with expertise in the relevant topic, will lead each table of 10. Meet-the-Speaker and choreographed conversations are just two of the new additions to meet the increasingly digital savvy audience.
