The Frankfurt Book Fair and Publishing Perspectives will launch a new event – The Markets: Global Publishing Summit – to better help publishers around the world understand and create partnerships in seven important current and future markets this fall.
Now that publishers have tackled the digital revolution, new challenges await as new markets emerge and opportunities arise. On October 13, 2015, The Markets will showcase seven strong and vibrant regions, along with a publishing segment from each region, that offer promising opportunities for international business and partnerships. These include: China: International partnerships and joint ventures; Germany: STM publishing; Indonesia: Whole publishing market; Mexico: Trade publishing; South Korea: Education and children's books; Turkey: Trade publishing; and USA: Digital publishing and innovation.
At The Markets: Global Publishing Summit, each region will be presented from three perspectives: analysis, vision, and players.
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 for attendees to both talk to their peers about important and emerging issues such as open access, subscription models, direct-to-consumer sales, rights and licensing, distribution while also connecting with those important players in these regions with whom they might do business.
The Markets: Global Publishing Summit is co-organised by the Frankfurt Book Fair and Publishing Perspectives and is scheduled for October 13, 2015.
