Bookwire to present “All About AI” – Empowering publishers to harness Artificial Intelligence

Frankfurt, Germany – Bookwire announces “All About AI”, a forward-thinking virtual conference dedicated to helping publishing professionals unlock the transformative potential of artificial intelligence. The event will take place on Tuesday, September 9, at 3 PM (CET) / 9 AM (ET) and will bring together industry leaders and AI innovators to share practical strategies, case studies, and emerging opportunities for the publishing sector.

https://www.all-about-ai-in-publishing.com/ “Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept – it’s shaping publishing today,” said John Ruhrmann, Co-CEO & Co-Founder of Bookwire. “This event will give publishers the tools, insights, and confidence they need to integrate AI into their strategies in a meaningful way.”

Exploring AI’s Impact Across Publishing

Attendees will gain first-hand insights into the many ways AI is already reshaping the publishing industry. From licensing and monetization, where publishers can learn how to license book content for AI model training and tap into new revenue streams, to marketing and automation, where cutting-edge tools are expanding audience reach and engagement, AI is driving innovation at every stage. The event will also explore the latest developments in narration and synthetic voices, offering a glimpse into what’s next in voice technology, as well as the role of AI-generated metadata in boosting discoverability and sales. Participants will see how AI-enabled multilingual publishing can unlock new markets with scalable translation solutions, and gain an understanding of how AI-driven pricing models, already transforming other industries, could redefine book pricing in the years ahead.

Expert Speakers

The conference will feature renowned voices from the AI and publishing landscape:

  • Nadim Sadek, Founder & CEO, Shimmr AI
  • Dustin Blank, Head of Partnerships, elevenlabs
  • Hannah Johnson, Chief Customer Officer, Veristage
  • Dr. Alexander Franck, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, goaudio
  • Sebastian Heinz, Founder & CEO, Statworx
