In San Francisco on May 1, 2012, an all-expert panel including Rob Grimshaw, MD of FT.com, will sit down to discuss the future of publishing and the role technology plays in this industry.

Moderated by Peachpit; the panelists will answer questions such as: can anyone be a publisher? and is there still a role for the “traditional publisher?”

From open source tools enabling communities to come together and crowd source a book through to websites providing books as a URL, there’s no denying the industry has changed. Add mobile to the mix, whether app or mobile web, and one wonders what does publishing truly mean today.
