One of the most anticipated publishing industry events of the year, Digital Book World 2019, is just around the corner. This year, DBW takes place September 10-12 at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, located in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. DBW is a gathering of publishing communities from across the world where nearly 1000 executives and leaders from trade publishing, scholarly publishing, independent publishing, educational publishing, corporate publishing, and all of the technology companies that serve them come together to share, learn, and network.
DBW is distinct from many other conferences; the event is known for lending different insights on publishing trends every year, and is a trendsetter in the industry for the next 6-12 months. It’s a place where you can listen to valuable talks from industry leaders representing organizations that are currently changing the facet of publishing. This year, Lisa Lucas, one of publishing’s dynamic young leaders and the executive director of the National Book Foundation, is providing the keynote. DBW is also a place to get first-hand information about new products and services, new tools and ecosystems, new revenue streams, new ways of thinking, and a new sense of community.
