Tech Forum West Coming to Vancouver
For those who have attended BookCamp Vancouver the past two years, there’s a new event happening in lieu of BookCamp this fall. BNC’s Tech Forum West is coming to Vancouver October 18th. The conference, titled Reboot the Book, will focus on how to redesign and enhance books today. From their website:
Tech Forum West is a one-day conference for book industry professionals to discuss the successes and challenges of enhancing books. Apps and enhancements affect the entire supply chain, from acquisition to sales. So this day will cover the entire spectrum: we’ll talk about which enhancements are working, how the promotion of an enhanced book changes, and how sales reps and retailers can utilize apps and social media platforms to increase sales and retain customers.
Confirmed speakers include Raincoast Books’ Jamie Broadhurst, Simon & Schuster Canada’s Sian Bumsted, ECW Press’ Erin Creasley, D&M Publishers’ Jesse Finkelstein, Orca Book Publishers’ Melanie Jeffs and author and consultant Peter Meyers.
