PN’11

In the inaugural edition in 2011, hitherto new concepts such as digital media marketing, electronic books and various “forms” of alternate publishing were discussed. From the feedback we received, we realized that the scope of discussion also had to include current practices and trends as it was imperative upon a conference of this magnitude to bring everyone within the publishing ecosystem to be on the same page.
