Giving it Away: Books, Business and the Culture of Free
2009-06-19 08:30
2009-06-19 17:30
Presented by Humber College and the Book and Periodical Council, in association with Authors at Harbourfront Centre, this day-long conference explores the implications of “free culture” for writing and publishing.
Now deeply into the digital age, we find ourselves thrust into a new universe of textual media, provoking some unexpected questions. Giving It Away confronts these issues of access, diversity and democracy. Increasingly, the pressure is on the publishing industry to “give it away.” It has happened in the music business, and it is starting to happen in the newspaper industry. Is book publishing next? Will it go beyond sampling and current marketing methods to the very core of the industry?
Includes keynote speaker, panel discussion and practical workshops.
Complete conference details are available here.
Tickets:
Early Bird: $125 (available to April 30)
Regular: $145 (after April 30)
Students/Seniors: $75 (throughout)
