Nowadays, the only gatekeeper is the reader. Books can travel the world in no time, reaching everyone regardless of their religion, race or location. By the end of the decade, six billion people will be able to read any books on their smartphone, and StreetLib is building the best technology to make it happen. While publishing with a big publishing house is a good idea only if you are able to fly 20 years back in time, and doing that independently only on Amazon is not enough anymore, StreetLib provides the best multi-channel distribution technology for publishers to thrive in the Mobile and Global Publishing Renaissance. This event will be held by Giacomo D'Angelo, StreetLib, USA CEO, who has worked at the side of publishers and authors for the last 8 years.
