Fortunately, there are those who have gone before you. In a webinar hosted by University Business on Thursday, July 26th at 2:00 pm, you will have the opportunity to hear two speakers report on how the industry is using digital publishing to reach and engage their audiences.

Webinar: Future Proofing Your Digital Edition

Staring at the title of our upcoming webinar, "Future Proofing Your Digital Edition" I thought, "Yikes, that’s gutsy." Can someone really declare that this is it, this is the future of digital publishing, and if you follow this plan your publication will survive the flux of technology and time?

We’re throwing down the gauntlet by saying the new technologies we’d like to demo to you will take that necessary step to getting your publication in the right space at the right time so you’re securely positioned for the future. But, while we believe we’ve got the solution, we’re more interested in knowing if you agree with us.

So here’s the deal: we’ll take an hour (May 9, at 2:00) to demonstrate where we think things are going, and then you’ll take about fifteen minutes in the future to tell us if you agree or disagree.

The first step is simple: click here to register for the webinar and choose a follow up interview time.

The second step is equally simple: tune in to the webinar on Wednesday, May 9th, at 2:00 pm ET.

Let us know what you think!
