His Talk: Digital technology has a disruptive effect on traditional content industries in many ways, but this is especially true when it comes to copyright and the law. Blaise Alleyne will analyze the legal issues affecting authors, publishers and readers through a survey of recent conflicts and emerging patterns in order to suggest what this might mean for the future of business, innovation and art in the area of electronic publishing.

Her Talk: With the rise of electronic content distribution, the publishing industry is changing dramatically. The lines between the traditional roles of author, publisher, distributor and retailer have blurred. As a result, new publishing models have emerged. In her talk, Anita Windisman will provide an overview of the market forces and trends shaping the industry with a view to identifying where future opportunities lie.

His Talk: Five years ago, Hendley wrote an article called "Seeing Through the e-Book Threat" for Canadian Printer magazine, that largely dismissed the electronic book format. His talk, entitled "Returning to the Scene of the Crime" will re-examine the e-book vs traditional print format book and offer an objective look at the pro's and con's of electronic book publishing from an author's perspective.
