Our annual tour of the world’s largest conferences for the publishing industry begins next month with a stop at the Olympia in West London, England, the new location for the annual London Book Fair. This year’s theme is Making Words Go Farther, a reflection of the many new ways published works are being delivered to consumers. That change is further underlined by the wording used to describe the Fair: “The global marketplace for rights negotiation and the sale and distribution of content across print, audio, TV, film and digital channels”.
“It’s a mistake to assume that publishing is just about books,” says Mark Glionna, Vice President – Client Relations. “It’s so much more and we are committed to staying up-to-date on anything that could impact the more than 100 publishing industry importers and exporters who are our clients.”
You can find Mr. Glionna and Chris Barnard, Vice President – Projects & Market Development, at the BookFreight booth (Stand 6B86). BookFreight is a worldwide network of freight forwarders specializing in the book trade. Universal is a founding member and the sole representative from Canada.
