||||||
The team:The annual Publishing Innovation Conference is organised by a team of seven Postgraduate students studying Publishing at the London College of Communication. We are a beautifully international group with representatives from Greece, Poland, Australia, Spain, Ghana and the UK. Our aim:Our aim is to spark debate about innovation in publishing and expose the most important influences on the industry we will be working in as publishers of the future. Our mission:In organising a short conference we hope to build a critical awareness of how to manage the complexity of various publishing operations so that we can advance our professional careers to management level within the global publishing industry. Outcomes:With invited speakers from across the magazine and book publishing industries as well as other associated businesses, the outcomes will be:
Sponsor:We are delighted to have Macmillan as our Sponsor for this event and we promise to deliver interesting conversation and great food for thought (as well as good catering for the intervals!)
