Beyond Print & Paper: Authorship, Publishing and the Digital Platform Challenge 

(copyrighted image from istockphoto.com)

The flow of e-reader devices onto the consumer market has quickly shifted from a trickle to a flood. With consumers captivated by the iPad, nook™, Kindle™, Skiff™ Reader, and QUE™ , a massive surge in demand for digitally distributed content is inevitable. As a result, those who write and publish are struggling with a new wave of questions. How will device pricing models affect contracts and content ownership? How will copyrights be enforced in increasingly blogged, socialized, and cross-linked world? How can an author distribute their own work without compromising themselves or their publishing agreements? What will the e-book wars mean to writers and publishers? How can publishers broaden distribution without increasing risk? 

Join our panel from the book publishing, media, and legal industries as we investigate the future of content—and what’s in store for anyone who creates, publishes, protects, and profits from it.

Our panel moderator is Chris Kenneally, Director of Business Development at Copyright Clearance Center

Our panelists include:

• Andrew Richard Albanese, writer and features editor for Publishers Weekly , New York
• Rachel Chou, Chief Marketing Officer for Open Road Integrated Media, New York
• Kathleen Conkey esq., New York, NY (former in-house attorney at MTV Networks,CBS and King World Productions)
