Connecting Innovation and Community at PubWest 2025

We've just wrapped up an invigorating week at PubWest 2025 in New Orleans, where the Shimmr team engaged with the vibrant publishing community about the future of book discovery and promotion.

Our Chief Revenue Officer Brooke Dobson participated in a thought-provoking panel on 'Maximizing Revenue from Your Existing Products,' alongside Django De Gree (Wrote By Me), Sarah Walden, and moderator Todd Stocke. The discussion offered valuable insights into unlocking the full potential of publishers' existing catalogs - a core focus of our work at Shimmr.

Throughout the conference, our team had meaningful conversations about how AI technology can elevate underrepresented voices in publishing, reinforcing our mission to democratize book discovery. The enthusiastic response from visitors to our table demonstrated growing industry interest in how Shimmr AI is driving both discoverability and sales results for publishers of all sizes.

We extend our gratitude to the PubWest team for organizing such a collaborative event that fostered important industry connections. And special thanks to Edward Nawotka for ensuring our team experienced the authentic cultural richness of New Orleans alongside the professional development opportunities!

The energy and forward-thinking discussions at PubWest have left us inspired about the publishing industry's innovative path forward.
