BISG's Making Information Pay Conference and Survey

By Hannah Johnson

The Book Industry Study Group and Mike Shatzkin want to know: have we reached the digital “point of no return” in publishing? How have digital technologies changed the way books are written, produced, and sold? Have the skill sets necessary to work and succeed in publishing radically changed? Do you have these skills?

This year, BISG’s Making Information Pay Conference will explore these questions, and look for ways that publishing professionals can stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and skills they need.

Conference organizers are asking people in the publishing industry to take a pre-conference survey to help them identify how technology and digital processes are changing jobs, necessary skills, and workflows. Take the survey at bisg.org.
