Frankfurt Book FairPosted in: Marketing Talk, Publishing

I don’t think I ever got around to posting whilst I was over seas recently. I had one of the busiest trips of my life so far, made some big deals and met some amazing people!

The Frankfurt Book Fair is one of the worlds largest gathering of publishers, rights sellers and authors from across the world. It is also a place where some of the ‘big guns’ in the industry meet and talk about where the future is going. Some talk about it as though they aren’t part of it, others as though they are creating the future and some like it’s already been on gone.

Nevertheless publishing in my opinion is quickly going to change and many people will be left behind.

The video above was made by O’Reilly media for the Tools of Change conference at the FBF 09. The conference was great! I didn’t learn as much as I would have liked but definately had some of my ideas and believes confirmed which is also a positive thing!

I’m planning on writing a decent post on the publishing industry in the next few days.
