Upgrade your tech with publishing’s top
minds.

When it
comes to audio and AI,
knowledge is power.
|
|
|
|
If you’re not feeling both challenged and excited by
the latest publishing tech, you’re probably not paying attention.
With audiobooks now a £1bn UK industry,
and dozens of new AI startups emerging, there’s so
much value for book people to unlock from these technologies - if
you know how to do it right.
That’s why we’re inviting in-house experts, box-fresh innovators and
seasoned consultants from both the audio
and AI sectors to share their insights, experiences and case studies
with an audience of ambitious industry professionals at FutureBook
2024 on November 25th, in London
and online.
Discover how responsible AI integration
can enhance everything from marketing strategies to operational
efficiencies. Empower yourself with the latest
audio trends, projects and tools. Explore how
international labelling is transforming AI
narration. And hear two of the brightest minds in
book-related audio investigate what’s coming next.
This is the kind of futureproofing you can’t afford to miss.

PANEL - Machine earning: unlocking more value from AI
|
|
|
|
This panel brings together big
publishers, startups and consultants from Clio.AI, DK, Perlego and LEMA
Collective to
examine the ways in which AI is having a tangible positive impact on
publishing, explore what’s coming next, and discuss how we can make
sure the technology yields more value for authors, readers and
publishers alike.

|
PANEL - Audio innovation: what's new and next
|
|
|
|
This state of the nation panel
gathers a mixture of innovators, publishers and retailers from Bookwire, Pan Macmillan and
Spiracle Audiobooks to discuss fresh examples of the
form, the appetite and audience for new types of book-related audio,
and where this fast-evolving field might be going next.

SHOWCASE - AI showcase: Narration labelling
|
|
|
|
Developments in AI narration
are moving so fast that it is becoming difficult to keep up if you
work in the industry, let alone as a consumer. Terms for different
kinds of AI narration are being used interchangeably – digital voice,
synthetic narration, cloning, replication – what does it all mean? Jon Watt from Bonnier will give a short presentation
outlining new international guidelines for naming and identifying
different types of AI narration in audiobooks.

Get some glory for your favourite
freelancer (it could be you).
|
|
|
|
|
|
It’s time we
talked about freelancers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
From PR to design, copy-editing to sensitivity
reading, freelancers are the unsung heroes behind
the book trade’s success. Their specialist skills,
niche knowledge and fresh perspectives help drive the best work in
the industry today.
So isn’t it about time to spotlight them, celebrate them, learn
from them - and explore how to collaborate
with them in a much more effective way?
That’s exactly what’s on the agenda at FutureBook
2024 on 25th November. A new
awards category - Freelancer of the Year, sponsored by Whitefox
- will honour the best in the business, while a dedicated
panel will team two of the finalists with an in-house
expert to discuss best practice and fresh ideas.
So do take 10 minutes today to nominate yourself or your top freelancer,
plus enter yourself or someone equally fabulous for any of this
year's awards: Leader of the Year, Future Leader of the
Year, Start-up of the Year and the Excellence
Award. It's all part of celebrating the humans who
make this industry shine.
Entries close next Monday, so:

PANEL: What price passion? How do (and
should) we value influencers?
|
|
|
|
Influencers have come to form the backbone of so many
book industry campaigns, whether as part of publicity pushes or
marketing buys. Their content is as wide-ranging as the titles they
promote, but do the models we use for payment and reward really work
- for influencers, their followers and indeed for publishers
themselves? This panel discusses the role of influencers across the
arts, and questions whether new ideas are needed for how we make the
most of this crucial route to readers.

PANEL: Secret agents: How freelancers
can refresh our future
|
|
|
|
Freelancers, now more than ever, make up a fundamental
part of so many of our teams, with ever broadening areas of expertise
and spheres of influence. Their work cuts across all areas of the
industry, from marketing and PR to design and editorial. But are they
given the credit they deserve, and are we working with them in the
best possible way? Several of the shortlistees for the inaugural
Freelancer of the Year award join in-house speakers to discuss.
