Shimmr curates Bologna Book Plus 2025's AI Summit

We're thrilled to be contributing to the BolognaBookPlus 2025 programme, through the curation of an inaugural AI summit. 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.

Nadim Sadek will join speakers including Chantal Restivo-Alessi (HarperCollins), Raúl Pérez (Planeta), Gaurav Sabharwal (Prakash Books), Sarah Arbuthnot (Supadu), Emma House (Oreham Group), Edward Nawotka (Publishers Weekly), Kelly Garner (Treefort Media), Searsha Sadek (Shimmr), Nancy Traversy (Barefoot Books), and author Tom Benjamin (BolognaBookPlus' 2025 'Author Ambassador') in a series of candid and varied discussions. Thank you to Jacks Thomas for involving us in the programming for what will be a wonderful event.
