We consider education to be one of the pillars of a publishing company. One of our goals is to provide as much education to publishers as possible in the form of meetings–either in members-only brainstorming sessions or in presentations from notable guest speakers and panels. Below is a list of programs offered in the last few years. Meetings noted as bold and with an asterisk (*) have recordings available for purchase.
