More than 260 individuals from over 65 publishers joined us for the BiblioU Annual Meeting 2022 - our exclusive, global event designed especially for our customers. With more guest speakers than ever before - representing an array of world-leading academic and scholarly, trade and children's, and religious publishers including Oxford University Press, Princeton University Press, Bloomsbury, Macmillan Publishers, Candlewick Press and many more - this year's programme had something for everyone; from the launch of the new BiblioSuite of publishing software and an overview of its key new features and enhancements, to Biblio user's favorite reports, digital asset management for production, royalties management workflows, and more!
The event - which took place on Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st September 2022 - featured a total of 16 presentations from both guest speakers and Virtusales staff, with networking opportunities for good measure; all focussed on bringing Virtusales customers together to hear about the ways publishers are using the BiblioSuite of publishing software to better their businesses, and to provide practical advice and insights into how they can utilize the BiblioSuite system to further improve efficiency and productivity throughout their publishing workflows.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt "Thank You!" to our guest speakers (listed below) for their fantastic presentations and for sharing their time, knowledge and expertise with us all throughout the event. We really couldn't have done it without you!
