Themes

Introduction into the World of AI / Holger Volland

Thanks to quantum physics and self-learning systems, machines can beat us not only at tasks most of us were never good at, such as chess, but also at the very things we claim as “human-only” territory: Smart computers have already composed music, created films and written books. Creative machines are on the rise – and they are becoming more and more human. What’s next?

Will machines take over and become the next geniuses? How might artificial intelligence and deep learning affect our understanding of creativity and the role of the artist? What is technology doing to creativity – and what is creativity making with technology?

 

A global view on Audio Publishing / Niclas Sandin

Audiobooks are not a new phenomenon but the move to digital has overcome the capacity problem and with millions of Smartphones, audio is back! Audiobooks, audio dramatizations, podcasts and other spoken word formats are gaining new audiences around the globe each year. This creates new opportunities for creative writers, actors and producers not only in their local audiences, but also around the globe. In this session we will provide examples of successful consumer driven local spoken word format developments and explore the potential of bringing local audio content to a global audience.  This session will take a close look at some of the biggest Audiobook Markets and will divide short term trends from sustainable strategies

 

The power of Voice / Martin Johs. Møller

With the rise of Audio more and more Publishers rediscover their back lists, and create new content around their original content, often through cooperation’s with existing platforms. But voice content must be created as thoughtful as the story that is told. The Audiobook industry still depends on strong and powerful voices people want to listen to. What are the biggest challenges here and how can we make sure that the investment we put into an Audiobook really creates something meaningful. Learn from one of the biggest audiobook productions companies what are the do’s and don’ts and how to really tell a story that will engage your audience.

 

Panel Discussion: Audio First! / Niclas Sandin、Martin Johs. Møller、Helena Gustafson、李建復

How to decide what to publish where? What kind of format could work for an international audience, and what will happen if we decide to put Audio first? This panel discussion will take up all open questions raised in the morning of the first day of the programme.

 

Workshop on Audio / Niclas Sandin、Martin Johs. Møller、Helena Gustafson、李建復

During this workshop, our participants will have the unique possibility to join a workshop on Audiobook Publishing, conducted by our speakers from day 1. We will divide the audience in small groups of up to ten people, and let you work on your own Audio strategy.

 

Recreating the experience of reading: A global view on Hybrid Publishing / Porter Anderson

Technology is shaping every aspect of our daily life, structures our day, helps us to get from A to B and offers us new user experiences daily. The publishing industry needs to adapt to these changes, needs to recreate the experience of reading and find new business models to survive. From Hybrid Publishing to Cross media Publishing, there is already a lot out there to discover.

 

Platform Publishing – driving your IP / Yang Rui

Webnovel is a new model that allows independent authors and publishers to achieve success. During this interactive case study, you will learn more about the successful adaptation from Webnovel IPs into films, drama and animation.

 

Workshop on Hybrid Publishing / Katharina Ewald、Porter Anderson

During this workshop, our participants will have the unique possibility to join a workshop on Hybrid Publishing, conducted by our speakers from day 2. We will divide the audience in small groups of up to ten people, and let you work on your own Hybrid strategy.
