Everything you need to know about the changing landscape of publishing,
you'll find at TOC 2013 One Tools of Change for Publishing (TOC) conference attendee said that the wealth of information at TOC was like "drinking from a firehose." * | Reserve Your Seat and Save 15% (Use discount code PW15) |
We're inclined to agree. With over 40 sessions, 16 hands-on workshops and visionary keynotes, if it's important to the publishing industry today (or tomorrow), you'll find it at TOC 2013. Combine that with TOC's "hallway track" (those serendipitous encounters, conversations, and idea exchanges in the hallways, networking events, and elevators that occur when you gather more than 1000 of the best minds in publishing), and well, "drinking from a firehose" is probably a pretty accurate description of TOC. What do you want to do better, faster, or smarter (at work)?We can't help you with those gnarly parenting/partnering/plumbing issues, but if it has to do with the rapidly evolving publishing industry, TOC has gathered the expertise you need. Here are just a few examples: Looking for ePub3 best practices?
