In the first session, What's Hot and Cooking in Scholarly and Academic Publishing?, The Scholarly Kitchen Chefs will explore what's next in scholarly communications and separate the hype from reality regarding forthcoming industry developments in a lighting round format.

The second session, the Global Excellence and Diversity Showcase, will feature representatives from Latin America, Asia and Africa - regions that are often overshadowed in the present Western dominated media/ecosystem - who will highlight success stories from their communities in the areas of authorship, publishing and metrics, innovation, and outreach. Focusing on the strengths and opportunities for scholarly publishing in their regions, the panelists will demonstrate how a globally inclusive and diverse ecosystem benefits the whole scholarly publishing community. Speakers include: Veronica Klipp, Publisher at Wits University Press; Andrew Joseph, Digital Publisher at Wits University Press; Cathy Holland, Business Development Manager, Publishing, Digital Science; Aadi Narayana Varma Dantuluri, Head of Product & Innovation and (Co-Founder) Profeza; and YUN Wei, Director of Economics and Management Division, Social Sciences Academic Press (China), Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
