About the Frankfurt Conference

This year’s virtual Frankfurt Conference sets out the big issues, topics, and trends shaping our global industry right now.

In two tracks—academic on Oct. 11 and trade on Oct. 12—experts share their insights on how publishing is changing, which developments and trends are most important today, and what dynamics they believe will impact the business in the coming year.

Each track is followed by The Hof, a virtual networking event featuring commentary on the conference and breakout rooms where participants can connect with each other.
