HuffPo definitely “gets it.” I loved the Web 2.0 Expo Twitter coverage they assembled (www.huffingtonpost.com/2009...) last Fall.

"What a great conference. TOC was the perfect mix of big picture and focused tech. Thanks for an inspiring three days." —DC Denison, The Boston Globe

"TOC has quickly become the leading conference on publishing technology; it has filled the hole left by the demise of the lamented Seybold conferences." Bill Rosenblatt, Copyright and Technology

Be Part of the Publishing Evolution

The fourth annual TOC Conference, taking place February 22-24, 2010 at the Marriott Marquis Times Square in New York City, deciphers the tools of change in the publishing industry and helps cut through the hype for a more profitable future in publishing. TOC 2010 will focus on exploring the critical emerging trends around digital publishing, including:

  • Ebooks
  • Content for mobile/smart phones
  • Digital printing
  • Web-based marketing and promotion
  • New digital publishing and authoring tools
  • Industry-wide strategic issues, such as the changing retail and supply-chain landscape
  • Print-on-demand

In addition to perspectives from traditional book publishers who will provide experience from the trenches of change, TOC will bring in ideas from the wider ecosystem, including higher education, retailers, readers, and authors. Presentations from experts and innovators will close the loop on putting theory into practice and address issues in actionable terms, not just raise them. TOC will also facilitate the relationship between publishers and "content-centric" software programmers who are on the front lines of implementing change. Learn More about the TOC Conference [link to home Page] TOC brings together a diverse group that includes publishers, editors, authors and agents; marketing and production managers; consultants and business managers; librarians, researchers and academics; and technologists rethinking the form of the book itself. Anyone who is passionate about publishing will profit from these three days of:

  • Keynote presentations that frame the visions of publishing's future into a meaningful picture
  • Focused, expert-led breakout sessions offering analysis and practical advice
  • Half-day tutorials that dive deep into necessary skills and tools
  • An Exhibit Hall that connects attendees with the projects, products, and services shaping industry change
  • Networking events, Roundtables, and hallway conversations to help all participants connect with like minds
