The publishing industry is evolving faster than ever. AI, changing business
models, global rights opportunities, financial complexity, and pressure to do
more with fewer resources are redefining how successful university presses
operate.
The presses that thrive over the next decade won’t simply adopt new technology.
They’ll build connected, data-driven operations that turn information into better
decisions, greater efficiency, and sustainable growth.
Join this 60-minute workshop on how forward-thinking publishers are
modernizing operations across metadata, royalties, rights, finance, payments, and
analytics into a unified foundation for the future.
During this interactive online session, you’ll learn about:
· Replacing disconnected systems and spreadsheets with integrated
workflows.
· The five pillars of a modern publishing operations strategy, and why each
one matters.
· How AI, new licensing models, and emerging revenue streams are
reshaping royalty, rights, and financial operations.
· Practical ways to improve reporting, reduce manual work, and increase
operational visibility.
· How connected technologies enable faster, smarter decisions across every
department.
· What publishing operations will look like in 2030, and how to prepare
today.
Whether you work in finance, operations, rights, royalties, IT, sales, or executive
leadership, you’ll leave with practical insights and strategic ideas you can apply
immediately.
