Inaugural W3C Publishing Summit Program Now Available Online

August 17, 2017 by Gary Price

From the World Wide Web Consortium:

2017-08-17_13-57-30The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced today the program of its inaugural W3C Publishing Summit to be held November 9-10, 2017 in the San Francisco Bay area, California, featuring keynotes from Internet pioneer and futurist Tim O’Reilly and Adobe CTO Abhay Parasnis.
Publishing and the Web interact in innumerable ways. From schools to libraries, from design to production to archiving, from metadata to analytics to AI, the conference will show how publishers of all types are using today’s Web technologies, including EPUB, to make publishing more accessible, more global and mobile, more efficient and effective. This is the first summit since IDPF combined with W3C and hence will both highlight the outstanding continuity for the IDPF community as well as illustrate the convergence of publishing with Web:
Mozilla user experience lead and author Jen Simmons will showcase the ongoing revolution in styling of digital publications using web technologies.
Design experts Laura Brady, Iris Febre and Nellie McKesson will cover putting the reader first when producing ebooks and automating publishing workflows.
The program also features reading system creator Micah Bowers (Bluefire) and EPUB pioneers George Kerscher (DAISY) and Garth Conboy (Google).
Additionally, the program showcases insights from senior leaders from across the spectrum of publishing and digital content stakeholders including Jeff Jaffe (CEO, W3C), Yasushi Fujita (CEO, Media DO), Rick Johnson (SVP Product and Strategy, Ingram/VitalSource), Ken Brooks (COO, Macmillan Learning), Liisa McCloy-Kelley (VP, Penguin Random House), and representatives from Rakuten Kobo, NYPL, University of Michigan Library/Publishing, Wiley, Hachette Book Group, Editis, EDRLab, and more.
