Italy’s first e-book conference – IfBookThen — is taking place this February 3rd in beautiful Milan. If you register by the end of the day today, you pay just €252 — instead of the €350 tag applies at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. If you’re curious about this new event, you can find the program and line-up of speakers here. Several contributors to Publishing Perspectives will be speaking, including Mike Shatzkin, Richard Nash, James Brantley and James Bridle. Others offering presentations include:
- Simon Blackock (Faber & Faber, Faber Factory) – UK
- Patxi Beascoa (Random House – Mondadori) – Spain
- Hannes Eder (Publit) – Sweden
- Erik Ritgers (Ebook) – Netherlands
- Sebastian Posth (Bic Media) – Germany
- Marco Ferrario (Bookrepublic) – Italy
I’ll be there as well to help out as a moderator and report back on all the goings-on. Organizer Marco Ghezzi of Italian e-bookseller Bookrepublic.it reports that attendees have registered from across the Continent.
“It’s the first event of it’s kind in Italy and one of the few e-book specific events in Europe,” said Ghezzi, “so it represents a unique opportunity to learn from some of the time minds in the industry.”
