More than 317 publishing professionals and 33 speakers will take part in the 10th Publishers Conference from November 1 to 3, the Sharjah Book Authority (SBA) has announced.
The three-day event will host eight-panel discussions on the key issues and challenges facing the publishing sector in the region and around the world.
The conference will begin with a discussion titled ‘Global publishing spotlight: Surviving and thriving during a pandemic’. Publishing professionals from around the world will speak on how the global publishing industry has risen to the challenge of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, and the lessons they learnt in the process. The details of the application process for the $300,000 SIBF Translation Grant will be presented exclusively to participants on the first day.
The conference will conclude with one of its most-anticipated features, the hugely popular “matchmaking” session, where publishers and industry professionals meet to discuss buying and selling of rights and strike new deals.
