Reed Exhibitions has announced that the London Book Fair 2014 will take place at Earls Court from April 8 –10 in 2014. The annual Digital Minds Conference - which will be in its sixth year - will take place on a week day, Monday, April 7, in line with other international book fair and conference programmes.
This year, the Digital Minds Conference is scheduled for April 14, 2013, at The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster. The conference will explore issues facing publishers within a fully integrated digital environment, including the changing role of the editor, the impact that digital plays on publishing and author brands and branding, and the continued debate over self-publishing and hybrid authors. It will also discuss key business model trends, means of reader engagement and those emerging markets which content providers must have a handle on.
The conference will build on the success of previous years, appealing to a global demographic with delegates and speakers coming from across the publishing industry and the media more widely. The format will remain fully interactive with live learning, networking, and a continued emphasis on experiential sessions.
