* Discuss and outline the issues and opportunities that publishers face, as well as get a deeper understanding of what these are and where they come from.
* Explore options for addressing these issues and opportunities.
* Scan the horizon - look at what is round the next corner for publishers.
Delegates will be asked to contribute to a top 10 list of challenges and opportunities, which will be ranked and discussed during the seminar. See our speakers below.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This seminar is ideal for librarians, journal publishers, research funders, open access advocates and society executives. The diverse panel will discuss the current state of open access publishing, and how to make open access sustainable, through a variety of lenses. Each panellist welcomes commentary or questions at the end of their talk.
SPEAKER FOCUS
Join Genny Early, Business Solutions Director, Taylor & Francis Group, Informa UK plc, who will be discussing Academic Publishing: drivers for new digital business models
Open Access revenues have grown steadily but the industry is far from flipping at scale, and the take-up is variable depending on academic discipline. Content sharing, and pirated content usage figures indicate the scale of demand for low cost/free content with ease of access; should publishers see this as threat or discovery channel? And what does it indicate for future monetization of academic content?
SPEAKER FOCUS

The Royal Society of Chemistry has been publishing chemical knowledge since 1841. Today it's the biggest publisher of chemical sciences research in the world.
