Our Founder & CEO Nadim said this about the upcoming event: "The AI Summit at BolognaBookPlus 2025 is more than a conference—it's a pivotal moment of transformation. We're not just discussing technology—we're mapping the future of publishing. AI isn't something happening to our industry—it's a collaborative tool that will amplify human creativity, streamline our workflows, and connect us more deeply with readers. This forum is about empowerment—giving publishers the insights, strategies, and confidence to lead in an AI-enhanced landscape." The summit will bring together global publishing leaders to explore how AI can revolutionize the industry while protecting creativity and rights. From strategic AI adoption to content discovery innovations, we'll be exploring the future of publishing and AI: the rewards, the risks, and all the unknowns in between.
