Publishing and the Internet: Connecting with an Online Audience

This month we take publishing and the internet, the highly topical publishing area of current times, and throw open the discussion between our expert speakers and audience. Are e-books as big a threat to books as the ipod has been to music? How differently are publishers engaging with a generation of increasingly savvy internet users? And where does the ever-struggling high-street retailer fit into this new, uncertain bookselling formula?

Speakers confirmed:

Fionnuala Duggan, Director of Random House Group Digital
Jason Hanley from Google's Book Search Program
With Claire Warwick, Programme Director for the MA in Electronic Communication and Publishing at UCL, as Moderator for the event

This promises to be a great discussion on an important area of our industry, and one certainly not to be missed. To confirm your place on the night please email events@thesyp.org.uk; if there's a particular question in this field you'd like to find out more about let us know and we'll be sure to put it to our speakers on the night.
