TRADE DAY 2021

“RECONNECTING”

The 9^th annual Publishing Ireland Trade Day will once again, and hopefully for the last time, be virtual this year.

The day will be an informative and engaging mix of expertise from some key players across the publishing spectrum. Speakers from home and abroad will offer insights into what has been another strange year as we all grappled with what became the ‘new normal’. The topic for today’s Trade Day will be ‘Reconnecting’, as we all look forward to seeing and working with each other again in the not-too-distant future. The morning session will feature a panel discussion on the various perspectives of the book supply chain – from printer to distributor to bookseller.

We are delighted to announce that Alex Bowler, Publisher at Faber, will be the afternoon’s keynote speaker in a talk that promises to be fascinating given the breadth of authors who Alex has worked with over a rich and varied career. This year we will also have a virtual chatroom facility during the lunch break which will give our members a chance to interact and catch up with each other. Publishing Ireland would like to encourage as broad a range of staff as possible to attend to hear the speakers, meet your colleagues and share experiences in the world of book publishing.
