The latest announcements, event reflections, and perspectives on publishing technology from across our global community.
The BookTech Collective founding members will be attending the upcoming Frankfurt Book Fair, Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, and Sharjah Publishers Conference.
If you’ll be there too, we’d love to catch up, exchange ideas, and talk about the future of book technology and publishing.
Let’s meet!The inaugural BookTech RemoteCon, held in June 2026, brought together publishing and technology professionals from across different markets to explore the opportunities and challenges emerging at the intersection of books, publishing and technology.
The conversations highlighted a publishing industry already undergoing significant transformation — from AI, translation and discoverability to digital infrastructure, access and international market development. The closing reflections brought these ideas together and looked ahead to what comes next for BookTech Collective as an ongoing professional community.
