Digital Publishing Forum
Digital Publishing Forum seminars are established events organised by The Publishers Association, the Centre for Publishing at University College London (www.publishing.ucl.ac.uk/), and trade standards body EDItEUR (www.editeur.org/).
These late afternoon seminars are typically held at University College London from 4-6 pm, followed by drinks and informal discussion. The aim of the Forum is to brief publishers on technical developments, market trends and legal issues in the area of digital publishing, but it is also open to companies servicing the industry and other players in the information chain. It provides an opportunity for these various parties to meet each other as well as listening to cutting edge but accessible presentations.
