Digital Book World Conference

The 7th Annual Digital Book World Conference + Expo (DBW) is the premier event for book publishers and content providers of all sizes and business models who plan to thrive through and beyond publishing’s digital transformation. DBW 2016 takes place March 7 – 9 at the New York Hilton Midtown. The conference will present a mainstage session called “Barnes & Noble: The Perspective of the New Chief Digital Officer” on March 8 in New York. During the interview-style presentation, DBW Conference Chair Mike Shatzkin will talk with Fred Argir, who became Barnes & Noble, Inc.’s vice president and chief digital officer in July 2015. Barnes & Noble is the nation’s largest retail bookseller and a leading retailer of content, digital media and educational products.

DBW 2016 will cover the most pressing topics, including: transformation in the book business and digital publishing community; data, discovery and SEO; tech vs. content; a fresh look at ebook sales, the indie-publishing market and a fast-changing publishing business; monetizing relationships with consumers; how digital has changed our culture; the changing realities for authors; and the book buyer’s journey; among other relevant, strategy-focused topics.
