Imagine if you could find out how much your readers actually read\, where they struggled\, when they dropped out\, and what they share with their friends to help improve your publishing programme? \n  \nThis kind of intelligence can transform the publishing process from commissioning through to marketing and sales. It can help publishers develop and build habit forming products\, bring readers back into books\, and push completion rates up. \n  \nJoin BookMachine Editorial Board Member Emmanuel Kolade and a range of expert speakers on Wednesday 11th May 2022 from 6-7pm BST\, to hear how you can build engagement techniques for your books using data and analytics. This discussion will take you beyond the standard industry sales data and will consider the challenge of how we send our products off into other proprietary systems which has prevented us from understanding so much for too long. Hear about the experience of other sectors\, discover existing initiatives within publishing\, and identify what you need to know to turn casual readers into avid advocates.  \n  \nUsage data can illustrate the attributes of successful titles. And if we apply this scientific approach to understand reading\, we can transform writing\, commissioning and sales. \n  \nTalking Tech will sit within the Tech Stream\, which runs throughout 2022. In the Tech Stream\, you can find upcoming events\, interviews\, details of our Stream sponsors\, blog posts and resources to help you learn new skills and develop in your career. \n  \nAbout BookMachine Unplugged 2022\nThe Unplugged Online event series is designed to help inspire you\, build on your knowledge and reveal exciting new ideas for you to harness when you’re back at your desk. \nThe theme for this year’s series is the “Year of Change”.

And now\, with the pandemic\, these changes have accelerated even further. \n\nPeople no longer want to limit the use of their personal skills and squeeze into roles defined by others.\nThe myth that sitting at your desk 40 hours a week proves your value has been busted.\nTeams are tired of wearing artificial social masks to fit into the corporate culture.\n\n  \nBut what are the solutions to these corporate and cultural changes? \n  \nProponents of self-managed organisations have a simple idea: that leaders should focus on making space for their teams to generate ideas; and where they support their team’s growth rather than adopting the traditional command and control approach. So how does publishing fit into this brave new corporate world? \n  \nJoin us and a panel of publishing leaders at The London Book Fair (Olympia Room) on Wednesday 6th April\, 2022 from 2:30 to 3:15pm BST for an in-conversation event to mark the launch of the BookMachine Self-Managed Organisations white paper. \n  \nThe speakers will consider what self-managed organisations are and what the rise of them means for the publishing industry. They will share their own experiences of evolving management structures and how they’ve stayed relevant over the past few years. And most importantly\, they will discuss how the sector can adapt for a successful future. \n  \nSeats will be first-come\, first-served. If you would like to reserve a seat at the panel\, please register for a free spot by signing up above and we will make sure a seat is saved for you.
