Hear from Irish and international industry experts for a day-long series of talks and discussions on the business and future of books.

In a rapidly-changing cultural landscape it is essential for publishers to remain relevant and in-touch with their audience. The 6th annual Publishing Ireland Trade Day at Dublin Book Festival will explore the challenges of creating and maintaining a coherent – and profitable – publishing brand, together with the changes in the Irish Consumer Market over the past 10 years.

Hear from an incredibly successful new UK independent publisher which has carved out a niche in a crowded market and from a much-loved global imprint which has maintained its identity and focus within a corporate structure. Back home, gain insights and vision from Ireland’s largest book retailer and look beyond publishing to learn how the wider Irish media landscape is adapting to the digital age.
