What lessons does COVID-19 present for publishing? How does copyright hold its own in a world of “open”? Where might innovative business models emerge?

The global pandemic has dramatically accelerated the shift to digital media across the globe. In the virtual environment where distance is now immaterial, humanity has both converged and been scattered. The essential work of publishing – sharing knowledge and enabling expression – has never been so important.

For the Frankfurt Book Fair 2020, a trio of global publishing leaders takes on the crisis, featuring –

  • Bodour Al Qasimi, Vice President, International Publisher Association; Founder and CEO, Kalimat Publishing Group
  • Fathima Dada, Managing Director, Oxford Education, OUP
  • Tracey Armstrong, President and CEO, Copyright Clearance Center (CCC)

Session moderator is Michael Healy, Executive Director, International Relations, CCC.
