Good morning,
We're
thrilled to announce two experts in education and artificial
intelligence who will give keynote speeches at The Bookseller's EdTech
Conference on Friday 30th November, held as part of FutureBook Live 2018: Sir
Anthony Seldon, vice-chancellor of the university of Buckingham and
author of AI study The Fourth Education Revolution, and Rose Luckin,
professor of learner-centred design at the UCL Knowledge Lab and director
of start-up support programme EDUCATE.
Seldon
is a long-time champion of digital learning, and his latest book is a call to
educators everywhere to grapple with the challenges of AI, which has immense
capacity to spread education across the globe, but must be properly shaped to
achieve that end. Meanwhile Luckin, whose own research involves the design
and evaluation of educational technology using theories from the learning
sciences and techniques from AI, will explore the real impact of the new
technologies, including those she is seeing coming out of EDUCATE.
In
addition to the above, we're pleased to introduce four more speakers to the
EdTech conference line-up. Please see below for further details.
There are only three days left to book at Early Bird prices so
make sure you book
your tickets by this Friday 5th October.
Past attendees of the EdTEch for Publishers Conferences in
2017 and 2016 have until the end of this week to register for FutureBook Live
at last year's EdTech prices, to do so please contact us on events@thebookseller.com for

We
hope to see you on Friday 30th November.
Best
wishes,

Are you sitting comfortably?
Well,
it’s time to get the hell up, try something new and start taking more risks.
Because this year, FutureBook Live is on a mission to put a sparkling
rocket of creativity and courage up the book trade.
Sure,
most of us have done pretty well in the past year. Sales are up, indie
outfits are flourishing and greater diversity is slowly creeping in. But
there’s also a dangerous whiff of complacency in the air. A lingering sense
of entitlement. A wilful blindness to the cataclysmic technological and
social changes coming our way.
So
on Friday 30th November, Europe’s biggest publishing innovation
conference is designed to get publishing professionals from across the
spectrum – from agents to booksellers, digital specialists to
designers, big-name publishers to ambitious entrepreneurs – to think
big, be brave and get the hell on with becoming relevant to a new
generation. Our three electrifying strands will help you:
Provoke:
ask the uncomfortable questions about what is (or isn’t)
working right now. From an examination of what readers really want to a
deep-dive into lessons from streaming and subscription models, you’ll
rethink everything you’re doing today so you’re not outpaced tomorrow.
Predict:
look five years into the future, at the tech and issues
that are going to transform what and how you create. How should you be
harnessing the next gen of AI, voice, VR, gaming and blockchain? What jobs
will be left by 2025, and what sort of leadership do we need to make the
most of them? Expect big thinking from big brains.
Play:
press pause on the rhetoric and get hands-on with the
approaches and technologies that will help you deliver on your ideas. Test
your beta concepts with our live ThinkSprint session. Hack your workflow in
an on-the-spot workshop. Pitch your startup to a panel of industry
insiders. Above all: try, don’t just talk.
|
As
for speakers, expect an awful lot of people you’ve never heard of. Sure,
there’ll be some big names from the book world, but we also want to expose
you to perspectives, expertise and ideas from innovators making waves in a
range of industries - from music to neuroscience, voice design to TV.
So nab yourself an Early Bird ticket,
put Friday November 30th in your diary, and start limbering up.
Book people, it’s time to get out of your comfort zone.
Oh
and of course, if there’s anyone you particularly want to hear from, or any
topic you’re dying to see covered, just give us a shout, and we’ll do our best.
What’s more, if they’re totally new to us, you’ll be rewarded with a free
bestseller-generating algorithm. (Possibly.)
Early Bird tickets are now on sale, book by 5th October to
save £31.
Our fantastic 3 for
2 offer is also available on standard price
tickets and is the ideal solution for teams who would like to attend
together. View more information here.
