Closing Plenary - So What Now?

description

The past six months have brought unprecedented turbulence to US higher education, sitting alongside a backdrop of financial insecurity for universities in a number of countries and the rapid growth and influence of new technologies globally. In this plenary panel a group of industry leaders will reflect on the challenges and opportunities for university presses as they grapple with an uncertain present and a rapidly evolving future. With insights focused on public engagement with books and the book trade, the direction and priorities for library budgets, and the fast-moving AI/LLM landscape, this session will allow plenty of time for audience questions.
