Grandinetti and Godin Join DBW 2015 Line-Up

Publishers Lunch

Another two major headliners have joined the already-booked keynotes for our biggest-ever Digital Book World conference, set for January 13 through January 15, 2015 in New York (back at the lovely space in the New York Hilton). Amazon executive overseeing Kindle and other publishing-related ventures Russ Grandinetti will engage in a first-of-its-kind open on-stage conversation with Mike Shatzkin and Michael Cader. And bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, marketing guru and provocateur Seth Godin will provide a keynote speech, looking at "what's possible and what's important" for a variety of publishing players. Godin, who has been a traditionally-published and self-published author; a book packager; and a start-up digital publisher will provide actionable strategies for authors, retailers, agents, and publishers of different sizes and specialties.

Grandinetti and Godin join the first set of high-profile keynoters we announced right before BEA: HarperCollins ceo Brian Murray; Houghton Mifflin Harcourt ceo Linda Zecher; Walter Isaacson (whose book The Innovators publishes this fall); and Ken Auletta. As you can see, planning is well underway for an expansive and exciting new iteration of the industry's biggest conference on digital change.


Of course there is plenty of time to secure your tickets for the event. But the absolute best super-early pricing expires at the end of the June, so if you're ready to plan on making DBW 2015 part of your calendar, this is a great time to sign up. As always since the very beginning of the DBW conferences, Publishers Lunch readers have access to the best-available discount on the individual ticket prices. Just use this link with our code pre-entered for additional savings on both the regular DBW and three-day "total access" tickets.
