Publishers Launch Conferences: a new partnership with Michael Cader

March 22, 2011 by Mike Shatzkin 22 Comments

I had already been in the “publishing futurist” game for a few years when my frequent project partner Mark Bide and I put together a day-long conference in March 2000 at the London Book Fair called “Publishing 2010.” (As I look at what I wrote for that conference, I can see some things I got […]

Introducing the North American Big Six

February 19, 2011 by Mike Shatzkin 46 Comments

There’s a new Big Six in town. Or maybe not “in town.” But “on the planet.” The Big Six is a term commonly used to collectively designate the behemoths of US trade publishing: Random House, Penguin, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, and Macmillan.

Building a new-fangled conference program the old-fashioned way

September 20, 2010 by Mike Shatzkin 4 Comments

There is certainly more than one way to build a conference program. I have been putting them together since long before I learned about the concept of “crowd-sourcing”. I’m a bit of a plowhorse about some things so the Digital Book World conference program comes together pretty much the same way as the first digital […]

What will be the big digital issues in January 2011?

May 16, 2010 by Mike Shatzkin 23 Comments

I have found a way to describe the difference between the Digital Book World conference we organize for F+W Media and the O’Reilly conference Tools of Change which I believe is accurate and is certainly not intended to be a pejorative description of  Tools of Change. I go to TOC and I find it very valuable, but different […]
