Enabled and organised by Canon, the ‘Future Book Forum’, will be held on 28 April at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center and is set to bring the whole industry, from publishers to printers to retailers and readers, together.

Tackling new developments in both digital and printed books, the forum will address how they increasingly interact, the ways in which content can be used in multiple ways, the new trends and technologies to enable this, emerging business models to improve profitability, as well as new opportunities for growth.

In addition, the ‘Future Book Forum’ will host a workshop which will address the seamless integration of print production and book distribution, automated book manufacturing workflows as well as business opportunities for ‘Smart Book Services.’
