The Frankfurt Book Fair, scheduled for October 19-23, 2016, and Publishing Perspectives will host THE MARKETS: Global Publishing Summit for the second year now. The Summit is projected to help publishers worldwide better understand and build relationships in seven important current and future markets.
On October 18, 2016, the pre-fair conference will showcase these seven markets: Brazil, Flanders & The Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Spain, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
At THE MARKETS: Global Publishing Summit, each region will be presented from three perspectives: analysis, vision, and players. The programme will also include sessions on important issues for the global community beyond these markets.
The core idea of THE MARKETS is to provide a platform for taking the next steps into the digital future of publishing, for building on the collective knowledge of the future of storytelling and content creation, and forging new relationships through facilitated discussion sessions. Attendees will be able to both talk to their peers about important and emerging issues such as open access, subscription models, direct-to-consumer sales, rights and licensing, and distribution, while also connecting with those important players in these regions.
The call for papers has begun. Interested parties may send their suggestions for speakers and sessions to Katharina Ewald, ewald@book-fair.com.
