The London Book Fair has confirmed two keynote speakers for its Quantum Conference, scheduled for March 13, 2017, 09:30 – 16:00 hrs. Steve Bohme, Research Director at Nielsen Book Research UK, will share the findings from Nielsen’s annual Books and Consumer study, while Sophie Corcut from retail trends consultancy GDR Creative Intelligence, will provide a fresh perspective on the latest consumer and retail trends.
Further speakers confirmed for the new-look conference include Alexander Bregman from Google Play, Wattpad’s Ashleigh Gardner, Tom Williams from app developer Peak, who recently sold a majority stake in the company to Hachette Livre, and We are Social’s Charlie Cottrell.
Also new for this year, the Quantum Conference will feature a new parallel seminar stream, entitled How it Works. This will consist of practical workshop sessions geared towards providing publishers with useful information and advice on topics like predictive analysis, Google Analytics and Facebook’s ‘Live’ function, and so much more.
Last month LBF announced that the new and improved Quantum Conference has combined with Nielsen BookInsights Conference to form one Spring conference, offering delegates fresh research, actionable consumer-focused insights and forward-thinking on the book industry landscape all in one place. The event will be chaired by publisher consultant and former Managing Director of Watkins Media, James Spackman.
