About Book Conference

Members of the Books and Publishing Community meet at the International Conference on the Book, held annually in different locations around the world. The Conference was held in Cairns, Australia in 2003; Beijing, China in 2004; Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK in 2005; Emerson College, Boston, Massachusetts, USA in 2006; Spanish National Research Council, Madrid, Spain in 2007; The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, USA in 2008; and The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland in 2009. In 2010, the Conference will be held at the University of St. Gallens, Switzerland. In 2011, the Conference will be held at the University of Toronto, Canada.


Our community members and first time attendees come from all corners of the globe. The conference is a site of critical reflection to discuss the past, present and future of the book, and with it, other key aspects of the information society, including publishing, libraries, information systems, literacy and education. Those unable to attend the conference can opt for virtual participation in which community members can submit a video and/or slide presentation with voice-over, or simply submit a paper for peer review and possible publication in the Journal.
