Concentrating on issues affecting the book publishing community, the TOC program is being crafted to facilitate thought leadership for those looking to lead their companies and projects into the new era of publishing. TOC provides a forum for all participants--both established, traditional publishers as well as the up-and-comers--to contribute and raise awareness of the issues. If you're a publisher, editor, author, marketing or production manager, publishing consultant, business manager, technology developer or provider, you need to be there.
