Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What is the Publishing Business Conference and Expo and who attends?
The annual Publishing Business Conference and Expo was founded in 1997. Like the publishing industry, the show has itself evolved into what has become the must-attend event for publishing executives. Held each year in New York City—the publishing capital of the world—the Publishing Business Conference and Expo draws thousands of professionals from all areas of publishing.
This major event brings you dozens of sessions specifically geared toward book and magazine publishing executives. See, test and compare more than 70 leading suppliers from all corners of the industry in the industry’s largest exhibition hall.
How do you select speakers for your conference program?
Speakers for the Publishing Business Conference are carefully selected by the editors of Publishing Executive and Book Business magazines. The large majority of all speakers are your colleagues–magazine and book publishing execs on the same front lines as you, tackling the same obstacles, overcoming the same challenges, and medicating the same headaches. Session topics are determined by the magazines’ editors (with heavy consideration given to the feedback offered by attendees at the prior year’s event), and only the most expert and accomplished industry professionals are personally invited to present.
Speakers hail from publishing organizations of all sizes and types, enabling our attendees to learn both from companies like their own and, perhaps, from companies nothing like theirs. Some sessions feature three- or four-person panels dissecting and debating a specific topic. Other sessions are led by one “expert” presenting a thorough case study.
All speakers are urged to offer tips and tactics that will enable attendees to return to their companies better equipped to do their jobs.
Who do I contact if I am interested in speaking or have a session topic suggestion?
