Introducing the brand new…

2024 Firebrand Group Industry Conference

Adapting to Change: Take your company & your role to the next level

In an ever-changing industry, getting on the right path toward the future can be difficult. We all feel the challenge of figuring out which path will most likely lead to success. Thankfully, we’re not alone! Learning how other publishers, distributors, marketers, and executives are tackling the same challenges can be empowering and enlightening.

The new Firebrand Group Industry Conference (FGIC)—hosted by the companies that make up the Firebrand Group (Firebrand Technologies, NetGalley, and Supadu)—will provide you and your team the information, recommendations, tools, and resources you need to navigate the changes ahead for our industry.

FOR THE ENTIRE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY! The FGIC conference offers a unique opportunity to learn from industry peers, share your own challenges and successes, and network with other publishing professionals who are on the same path. Discover the latest innovations and initiatives that can make an impact on your sales, rights and permissions, marketing, audiobooks, ebooks, printing, distribution, and more.

Arm yourself with knowledge, forge invaluable connections, and join the vanguard of publishing professionals shaping the future of the industry. Join us in Nashville, September 24-26 for the conference that will help us all break down silos and strengthen the book publishing community.

September 24 – 26, 2024

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

The Firebrand Group Industry Conference (FGIC) is NOT a Firebrand Group user conference. Anyone involved in the publishing industry will benefit from this newly conceptualized 3-day event, including:

Executives seeking insights and innovations to help move their companies forward.
Publishing professionals in Editorial, Production, Manufacturing, Rights, Design, Ebook Creation, and more.
Marketing, Publicity, and Sales experts, and anyone else interested in finding new and innovative ways to increase book discoverability and sales.
Corporate Insights, Business Ops, and Data Analysts interested in data and reporting strategies, best practices, and innovations.
And any other members of the publishing community who are interested in learning about how to navigate our ever-changing marketplace!

What if I’ve been in publishing for decades?

The goal for FGIC is to provide the most informative and practical programming possible, and to provide real value to each attendee regardless of their seniority or experience. We are pursuing industry professionals with broad experience to share their insights, advice, and best practices in panel discussions and presentations, and we are ensuring that our breakout sessions have ample time for audience conversation. Firebrand conferences have always been characterized by high-quality presenters and practical advice, with a focus on learning what others in the industry are doing and understanding the current trends and challenges we are all facing. We encourage highly interactive sessions that allow everyone in the audience to ask questions, learn at their own level, and glean insights from the input of others.

We will release more information on confirmed sessions and speakers as we get closer to the event. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay in the loop!
