Artificial Intelligence (AI) is certainly transforming the publishing industry, reshaping how books are written, edited, marketed, and distributed. Publishers are also using AI to analyse market trends, predict bestselling genres, and tailor content to reader preferences, which arguably will lead to a more data-driven approach to book production.
In partnership with Shimmr AI, we have created this timely, important summit. It is designed to inspire, educate and empower publishers in an era defined by AI. Creativity, operations, and reader engagement will be transformed across the industry: this summit will offer a blend of visionary insights, practical strategies, and actionable tools tailored to the needs of publishers navigating the evolving landscape.
