Tools of Change Conference
Book publishing is going through a torrent of tech-related changes, both evolutionary and revolutionary. It's a turbulent, exciting era, and publishers have major opportunities to influence and potentially profit from new models for creating, distributing, and selling information.
To succeed in this period of change, however, publishers need a thorough understanding of the technologies that are possible in this business atmosphere. O'Reilly, a media company closely connected with the leading innovators in technology, is in a unique position to help publishing decision-makers appreciate the nuances of the new landscape--and thus spark conversations on emerging ideas, models, and tools.
O'Reilly's first TOC Conference: Tools of Change for Publishing is going to be held in San Jose, June 18-20, and the call for participation is now available. We're looking for proposals on all facets of technology and change in publishing, with a particular emphasis on promising new ideas.
For many publishers, creating and maintaining an XML repository of their content is or will be a key aspect of many ongoing and new initiatives. If you have hands-on experience working with book publishers of any size, and you have lessons to share, please consider submitting a session proposal. If you're an XML service provider, and you and a publishing client can present together, that's even better.
