63a edizione 13 - 16 Aprile 2026 | Bologna
In partnership con Shimmr AI, abbiamo creato il secondo summit su questo tema sempre più centrale. L’incontro guarda al prossimo capitolo dell’AI nell’editoria: dai sistemi agentici lungo l’intero workflow editoriale e il decision-making basato sui dati, fino ai diritti, al licensing e al ruolo crescente della creatività intelligente. È pensato per ispirare, formare e dare strumenti concreti agli editori in un’epoca definita dall’intelligenza artificiale.
Creatività, processi e coinvolgimento dei lettori saranno trasformati in tutto il settore: il summit offrirà un mix di visioni strategiche, strategie pratiche e strumenti operativi pensati per le esigenze degli editori che si muovono in uno scenario in evoluzione. L’AI sta trasformando l’editoria, passando da un approccio guidato dall’intuizione a uno informato dalle evidenze. Il Summit presenta una line-up internazionale di leader dell’editoria e dell’intelligenza artificiale provenienti da Europa, Regno Unito, Stati Uniti e India.
