This year’s program explores urgent issues facing Australian publishers, from developments in AI, workplace culture and innovation, and book pricing in a time of inflation, to practical sessions on publishing First Nations voices and integrating metadata into your workflow.
We’ll also hear from the next generation of publishing leaders as they consider the future of the industry.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet your industry colleagues in-person. The conference will conclude with networking drinks and the announcement of the Publishing Industry’s Rising Star award and EPAAs shortlist.
At BookUp you can expect a day full of experts from publishing and beyond, discussing thought-provoking ideas and delivering valuable professional development for publishing staff at all levels.
