March 29, 2010 UPDATE:
MAKING INFORMATION PAY 2010 PRE-EVENT SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED.
Join us live at Making Information Pay 2010 to hear complete survey results.

Every day we see how new technologies are changing the way we acquire, edit, produce, market, sell and distribute the books we publish. But how far are we from a business driven by:

• Books without bindings?
• Bestsellers without agents or publishers?
• Retailers without storefronts?
• Sales without sales reps?
• Distributors without warehouses?

On May 6, 2010, the Book Industry Study Group’s 7th annual Making Information Pay event will address the technological “points of no return” currently facing our industry and identify the new technologies dictating advanced ways in which books—both digital and physical—are being acquired, produced, distributed, marketed and sold.

Leading up to the program, you’re invited to participate in the conversation by helping us identify the degree to which you feel traditional publishing practices are under pressure to change. How do we know when systemic change is actually happening? What are the indicators? What are the responses that make a difference in managing the challenges and opportunities to profitable result?

To begin addressing these questions, please take a minute to fill out this brief survey. We’re aiming for the broadest possible participation from across the book industry, so please feel free to respond even if you know others in your company are completing the survey as well. Please also point your colleagues to this survey and encourage participation. (March 29, 2010 Update: MIP 2010 Pre-Event Survey is now closed!)

Survey results will provide the basis of further research through interviews, so please let us know if we may contact you for additional insight.
