Mediabistro.com (a division of WebMediaBrands, Nasdaq: WEBM)
announced today its first eBook Summit, to be held December 15-16
at the New Yorker Hotel in New York City. The event focuses on
innovations in digital publishing, including eBooks, eReaders,
e-commerce, and publishing on-demand.
eBook Summit takes a close look at the changing digital
publishing industry, from the perspectives of both content creators
and publishers. Leaders in the field will uncover business
development opportunities and highlight the latest technological
innovations currently driving the future of digital publishing.

Leaders in publishing will gather to discuss key topics
affecting the industry today:
- Books, newspapers and magazines
are consumed on the web, mobile phones, and e-readers – what does
this mean for authors, journalists and all content creators?
- The impact of open source
standards on content and distribution
- Device technology and where it’s
headed
- Shift in distribution: has the
warehouse been replaced by software?
- What the development of print
on-demand and self-publishing means for the industry
- New business models that
demonstrate success in the current environment and point to a
promising future for publishing
Mediabistro.com’s eBook Summit is for media professionals
involved in creating, distributing, marketing, or selling content
-- from the publishing industry to literary and talent agencies, as
well as broadcast and online media.
The vendor area will be a marketplace for organizations that
provide devices, tools, technology, services and infrastructure for
all aspects of the digital publishing world. eBook Summit will also
provide the critical element that can only be found at a live event
-- face-to-face conversations that lead to business development and
partnership opportunities.
