In this panel discussion, Publishing Perspectives and Publishers Without Borders will discuss their new initiative which aims to create an ongoing global conversation around key challenges facing the global publishing industry as well as creative initiatives and opportunities. This project will provide publishers and industry professionals with a deeper understanding of how common issues are experienced across different regions of the world, or will delve into issues that are particular to only some regions. Topics to be discussed on the panel will include supply chain, access to resources, AI/technological advancement, book discovery and reader engagement, gender inequity in the workplace, and more.
