A State of Digital Publishing event is coming up soon: 21 – 27 May, Online

The program features five days of 1-hour sessions: presentations, panels, and workshops. You can register for a single session or the entire event.

I’m unsure if it’s free or not. I can’t find any pricing. Either way, State of Digital Publishing events are always great. If you are a publisher they are a ‘must-attend’ event.

Louis Reingold, CEO @ Soflyy, is giving the community advance notice of price changes:

As we look ahead, we want to keep you informed about upcoming changes to our packages and pricing. Around the time the first public beta of Breakdance 2.0 is released, we’ll probably be adjusting our pricing plans for new customers. However, existing customers will be grandfathered into their current plans indefinitely. Anyone who purchases before the price changes will also retain their existing rates. We’re giving you this advance notice because we value your loyalty and want to ensure you’re aware of the opportunity to secure your pricing indefinitely.
