Event description

"Disruption in the Publishing Industry" is an annual conference held in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Scotland.

We bring together people from across the publishing industry who would not normally meet. This melting pot of entrepreneurs, publishers, writers and other interested parties results in a fascinating day of discussion, ideas and stories!

The publishing industry is now changing faster than ever before due to internet services, digital publishing, data analytics, free blogging platforms and print on demand business models. How will this continue to evolve in the future? Will the erosion of traditional publishing methods continue and how will publishing develop? What are the growing entrepreneurial opportunities in this dynamic industry?

Last year the conference attracted over 200 delegates, in addition to more than 100 online viewers. We look forward to welcoming you this year!
