Jane McGonigal Named Keynote Speaker at IDPF

May 14, 2015

Gaming specialist, Penguin author, and TED talker Jane McGonigal will be a speaker in the keynote address sequence at IDPF’s Digital Book 2015 Conference, which opens BookExpo America on May 27.

The focus of McGonigal's talk, entitled "Reading is an Epic Win: How to Engage the Gamer Generation with the Future of Books," will be on the "challenge that electronic media pose today to reading." 

IDPF’s overall conference theme is “Putting Readers First,” and McGonigal’s address will be preceded by a focus on “The Customer as Curator” by London publisher and author Michael Bhaskar of Canelo, and by a consideration of reader primacy in the global market from Richard Charkin of Bloomsbury Publishing and the International Publishers Association.
