U.S. Book Show
The much-anticipated event, hosted by NYU’s SPS Center for Publishing and Applied Liberal Arts at NYU’s Kimmel Center in New York City, will bring the industry together for continuing education, discussion of emerging trends, and networking to foster relationships within the publishing community.
Last year’s conference brought in hundreds of professionals and featured a keynote by James Daunt, CEO of Barnes & Noble, workshops and thought-provoking panels helmed by respected agents, editors and experts. Topics ranged from copyright to auctions, metadata to audiobooks, bestsellers to burnout.
In 2024, the conference will address emerging technologies and the AI landscape, diversity, publisher consolidation and growth opportunities as well as diving into bread-and-butter issues that can affect daily effectiveness and careers. Programming information will be released in the coming weeks as speakers and topics are confirmed.
