The next edition of the Digital Book Conference will take place on November 28 at the BnF (François-Mitterrand site). At the end of the morning, the traditional presentation to the public of innovative digital projects linked to books will be organized.
The call for projects is open to all book professionals.
Note: we will require participants to respect the presentation exercise Bad Luck Kucha (“the sound of conversation” in Japanese). Oral presentations will be made with the projection of 15 PowerPoint slides succeeding each other every 20 seconds: the presentation lasts 5 minutes in total. “This constraint imposes on the speaker eloquence and a sense of narration, rhythm, concision, but also graphic expression. »
THE projects will be selected from following specifications :
- The presentation must directly concern the book in its production, distribution or promotion using digital tools.
- The project must have a innovative character.
- The recent nature of the project will be taken into account.
- For digital book presentations, the EPUB 3 format will be an asset.
- Generally speaking, achievements based on standard formats will be appreciated.
- Demonstrations of innovative digital books carried out as a duo (publisher/service provider) will be favored to show the complementarity of the approaches.
- Only one project per publisher or per service provider will be accepted in the case of several proposals. Each presentation can only focus on one project at a time.
- Each project must be presented in 5 minutes.
If your project is selected, you will need to send us your PowerPoint visual presentation before November 23, 2023, so that they can be installed on the event computer.
We invite you to submit your project proposals by email before November 8 6:00 p.m. with Clémentine Guinebert [email protected]by filling out the form available below.
