OPPORTUNITIES IN THE YEAR OF CHANGE
In these turbulent past months, publishers and printers have been facing significant changes. Now is the time to reposition and to focus on future target markets. But what exactly has changed? What challenges need to be overcome? Where are the most promising business potentials? How do we react to readers’ changing consumer behaviour? Can we adapt business processes for a secure future? All of this will be addressed at this year’s Future Book Forum and we will share answers to these questions. Join us online on November 18.
