A Look Back at Publishers Launch 2011

Seven conferences, four cities, three countries, one year.

Publishers Launch Conferences brought together hundreds of professionals from all corners of the publishing business in its debut year. Digital publishing analysts, experts, and innovators from around the world shared insights from their experiences at the forefront of this evolving industry. And our equally distinguished audience included publishers, agents, authors, retailers, and other channel partners from over 35 countries.

We would like to thank everyone who made the first year of Publishers Launch possible: our producing partners at BookExpo America, the Publishers Association, NYU Center for Publishing, Frankfurt Academy, StoryWorld, and Digital Book World; the fantastic presenters, panelists, and moderators that helped shape our programs; and of course our Global Sponsors — Constellation, Copyright Clearance Center, and Bowker. Their support and valued input made Publishers Launch a success in its inaugural year, and we look forward to another year of providing critical and practical advice and education for the trade book publishing business.

Here is a look back at what we covered in our first year:
