The mediaIDEAS Cabaret Meetup also featured presentations from leading executives in the industry, including Josh Koppel, founder of Scrollmotion; David Renard of mediaIDEAS; and Peter Hildick-Smith of Codex Group, which provides book-audience research and pre-publication book testing.
"The sheer number of people who attended was impressive, but what really made this event worthwhile was the energy and enthusiasm and exchange of ideas from all who were present," says Janet Spavlik, editor-in-chief, Book Business magazine. "If you were looking to meet like-minded publishing professionals, discuss your thoughts about the direction of the industry, and gain new perspectives related to your career, this was the place to do it. I'm already looking forward to the next one."
