"In the post-Covid world, or the
world we aspire to after Covid, we can't return to normal. Normal
doesn't work for us. It's excluding, it creates barriers. We have to
find a way to be more expansive, to decentralise, to
diversify.”
|
|
|
|
|
So said Black Writers Guild founder
Nels Abbey in his keynote last year, which is why FutureBook 2021's
theme - RESET -
is focused on helping publishing professionals rethink every aspect
of how (and why) they work. Whatever your role, whatever your corner
of the industry, our talks and panels will run across three streams - Digital, Sustainability and
Discover - and help you question your normal, learn
from the industry’s sharpest change-makers, and develop strategies
for a more relevant, resilient future.
|
|
|
|
|
For our part, we're using this
opportunity to redefine what an inspiring, inclusive and accessible
publishing conference should be. Our new model – an in-person,
one-day event in Bishopsgate on Friday 19th November, fully live-streamed for
those who prefer to attend from home or office, with all sessions
stored in a two-month virtual library – combines our renewed hunger
for face-to-face with the flexibility and accessibility offered by
last year’s online-only conference. Our commitment to sustainability
also means that speakers from abroad (such as Roxane Gay, below) will
be joining us via video, and that delegates can continue to join in
from anywhere in the world. And of course, we'll see the return of
the FutureBook Awards,
which showcase the most innovative, forward-looking and game-changing
industry initiatives from the past year.
|
|
|
|
|
Better than normal? We strongly
believe so.
|
|
|
|
WE ARE
DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE OUR FIRST KEYNOTE CONVERSATION
|
|
|
|
|
The New Not-Normal with Roxane Gay
and Elizabeth Uviebinené
|
|
As we emerge from the pandemic, we
have a chance to fundamentally rethink how we work as publishers,
writers and human beings. In this enervating, honest and
heartfelt conversation, Roxane Gay (writer, professor, editor,
social commentator, bestselling author of The Bad Feminist and
other books, and founder of a new publishing imprint at Grove
Atlantic) and Elizabeth Uviebinené (brand strategist, Financial
Times columnist, co-author of 2018’s award-winning Slay In Your Lane and
author of new book The
Reset: Ideas to Change How We Work and Live), whose
book title perfectly dovetails with this year’s theme, will
explore their experiences, ambitions and ideas for where we
should be going now - and how we can get there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW
WE'RE KEEPING YOU SAFE AT FUTUREBOOK 2021
|
|
|
|
If you’re planning to return to
in-person FutureBook this year, you can read here
about all the measures we’re taking to make you feel safe and
relaxed while back with your publishing peers IRL. Of course, if
attending remotely is more your bag, you’ll have access to every
live-streamed event on the day and until January 2022 (as will our
physical attendees, of course). And if you change your mind at any
time, you can switch your ticket to your preferred mode of attending.
So however you want to reset:
