Today was the first day of the 32nd edition of the International Publishers Congress, and this year it is hosted in New Delhi, India.
A full 26 years after the previous IPA Congress in New Delhi, we're back with a great programme. This will be the first of our daily blogs over the next 3 days.
The day started with a traditional candle lighting ceremony, before the Minister for Science and Technology, Dr Harsh Vardhan, arrived to launch the day's proceedings. IPA President Michiel Kolman gave a keynote address where he called on the publishing industry to stop being defensive and to shout about the industry's many successes, sentiments that were echoed by FIP President, NK Mehra.
Just 4 days to go until the beginning of this year’s International Publishers Congress, back in New Delhi after a 26-year break.
The full programme is now online and is packed with interesting discussions on all aspects of the publishing industry.
