No matter what industry you’re in, Digital Book World is a far-reaching conference mainly because, in 2020, every single business is a publisher of content of various kinds.
The event was completely sold out in 2019 (you know, back when we met in person) and will be a virtual packed house next week.
Hope you can join us.
