Digital is at the heart of all publishing activity today. And not only digital, but other creative industries are playing an ever-increasing role in content creation: film, TV, gaming, web and music - all offer new ideas to drive publishing businesses forward in new and innovative ways.

 

Panels, key notes, presentations and round tables will include cutting-edge thinking on mobile, content platforms, the future of content business models and creative media businesses and draw on expertise from across a variety of digital content fields.

 

Delegates can choose what sessions they attend thanks for a more interactive conference format, and "join the conversation" and "meet the speaker" sessions will allow delegates to engage with industry experts and network with their peers exchanging ideas and sharing knowledge.
