Welcome Letter Dear Attendee: Welcome to the publishing industry’s largest conference and expo! Mark Hertzog VP, Group Publisher Noelle Skodzinski Editor in Chief Matt Steinmetz Conference Program Editor CONFERENCE & EXPO CONTACTS Show Director Mark Hertzog Mike Cooper mhertzog@napco.com Exhibits Manager mcooper@napco.com Director of Marketing/Confernece Promotions This year’s event promises to be our best ever, with more than 125 industry-leading speakers, an exposition of more than 100 of the industry’s most cutting-edge publishing and production technologies and service providers, and the opportunity to network with your peers. THE CONFERENCE PROGRAM The program’s content hones in on the biggest issues facing publishing executives today. The intensive sessions-—designed to provide practical information to help you advance your companies and your careers— were developed by the editors of Publishing Executive and Book Business magazines, with input from a conference advisory board of industry thought-leaders, past conference attendees and two conference chairs: John Morse, president and publisher, Merriam-Webster; and Bill Amstutz, Publishing Consultant, and former SVP Audience Marketing/Development and VP Manufacturing/Distribution, CMP Media. We are particularly excited to have such a distinguished group of speakers to help you develop the skills and strategies you need in today’s rapidly changing media environment. The program has been designed to address the unique needs of two publishing sectors—books and magazines. In book publishing, sessions focus on manufacturing, production and workflow, business management, marketing, distribution and multimedia publishing. In magazines, sessions center on production, workflow and manufacturing, business management, editorial, creative, circulation and e-media. In addition, a number of sessions appeal to both publishing segments, so be sure to check out all session descriptions to get the maximum value of all the great content being offered!
