Tuesday, 8 October 2013 | Frankurt Book Fair
Publishers Launch is thrilled to return again to Frankfurt Book Fair for the third year in a row. We’ll take an in-depth look at the global opportunities, challenges and lessons for trade publishing professionals. We’ll feature leading publishers and players from around the world, and we’ll provide the critical analysis and insight that is a trademark of all our shows.
This packed one-day event covers the key strategic and operational issues faced by trade publishers around the globe in transitioning to a digital world.
