SUMMARY:Talking Tech (BookMachine Unplugged 2021)
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to our event sponsors: \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nHow publishing can harness the potential of emerging tech in their business\nPublishing has traditionally played catch-up with emerging tech. It’s often safer to invest in the more obvious options rather than jumping right in to get ahead of the curve. \n  \nBut what are the implications if we miss gaps in the market that start-ups and large tech companies are happy to fill? How can emerging tech play a role in discovery and enjoyment of content for the end user? How can we pivot and harness the potential of these new technologies? \n  \nJoin our panel of industry analysts and emerging tech experts for an aspirational session that will consider the opportunities and risks of emerging tech. They will share insights into the potential of areas like computer vision\, augmented and virtual reality\, AI\, big data and machine learning. We’ll also hear about publishers who are already moving up the adoption curve by trialling new technology. We hope to see you on Wednesday 12th May from 6pm BST! \n  \nTalking Tech this year takes place during Tech Season\, running from 26th April to 28th May 2021. \n  \nAbout BookMachine Unplugged 2021\nBookMachine Unplugged is an online and interactive programme of publishing events designed to offer real insights into what is working in publishing right now – and what the future of publishing may hold. \n  \nIf you’re a publishing professional who craves an explosion of knowledge\, ideas\, and personal development – in a strictly social and informal setting – this event series is for you! \n  \nEach of the six BookMachine Unplugged events programmed for this year will zoom in on a vital area of the publishing industry. Discover the others coming up in 2021. \n  \n“Thank you for a really insightful evening talking tech\, code\, and how to use computers to do your dirty work.” – Helen Harradine\, Inspired Selection \n  \nTicket details\nThis event is FREE for BookMachine members\, and £5 +VAT for non-members.
