The biggest
publishing conversation of the year is coming...
DAY ONE | Monday
16th November - CHANGE
This year we’re kicking off our week-long
virtual FutureBook with a big question: after the epic challenges (and
opportunities) of 2020, how can we rebuild the book trade with
sustainability, diversity and resilience at its core? With 40+ sessions and 100+ speakers planned
for 16-20
November, plus your anytime pass giving you access to
all videos until January, this is essential for anyone with a stake in the
future of the book trade.
|
|
|
On
Monday 16th November you'll
hear from:
KEYNOTE:
(Don’t) publish like a white man
British-Nigerian satirist, writer and media
executive Nels
Abbey, author of Think Like a White Man and
co-founder of the Black Writers Guild, will show us what the publishing
and bookselling landscape really looks like in the UK - and how we’re
missing a big trick.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
INTERVIEW:
David Shelley
In this intimate one-on-one, the CEO of Hachette UK gives
an honest insight into how the company has weathered the year from
hell and what he's planning for a hard-to-predict 12 months ahead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONVERSATION:
Nova Reid with Lisa Milton
Activist, writer and TED speaker Nova Reid talks
with HarperCollins UK executive Lisa Milton about
anti-racism, authenticity and how publishing people can be the change
they want to see in the world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PANEL: How do we make change?
Four people
who have tried to make change within publishing in the past year - Marianne Tatepo (Ebury), Niamh Mulvey (In The
History Books), Hamza
Jahanzeb (Icon Books) and Sarah McIntyre (illustrator)
- explore the strategies that do (and don’t) work. From social activism
to internal mentoring, black lives matter to better pay, they'll debate
the best ways of hauling a legacy industry into the future.
|
|
|
|
PANEL: The way back home
From Zoom doom to childcare juggling, the
way we work has irrevocably changed. Sara Lloyd (Pan
Macmillan), Anna
Maclaren May (Bonnier) and Rebecca Seal (author)
ask how office life is going to change long-term, share strategies
for keeping teams together apart, and give tips on how to stay sane
when you’re WFH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PANEL: State of the (audio) nation
How did the lockdown impact the market for
listening? From production to marketing, Fionnuala Duggan (HarperCollins),
Clarissa Pabi
(Acast), Videl
Bar-Kar (BookWire) and Miles Stevens-Hoare (W F Howes),
will look at what is driving the success of audio, who is getting it
right, and how we can turn up the noise.
