The speed at which today‘s content is spread, modified, and continuously improved demands new business approaches that do not rely on a specific format and forces the operational and distribution processes in the publishing industry to be adapted to customer requirements.

‘Future-proof business‘ has been given a new meaning – preserving functioning processes that might still work tomorrow doesn‘t cut it anymore: Now is the time to think in terms of business models that do not even exist yet. Prepare now for the future, so the future won’t remain uncertain: With strong support from sponsors from across the industry, Klopotek offers publishers and service providers a forum for putting new concepts to the test and learning about other people’s new ideas.

The 8th Publishers‘ Forum took place in Berlin from 2-3 May 2011. Within just a few years, the Forum has become a key industry event, boasting two days filled with concepts, expert know-how and hands-on workshops with an enthusiastic audience in one of the most inspiring locations Berlin has to offer. Over 300 professionals from various sectors participated in the event: publishers, newspapers, libraries, the film and music industry, internet portals, from the economic and scientific sectors, and from strategy consultants.
