Dates: 12 - 14 November 2010
THE 12th Lagos Book And Art Festival(LABAF), scheduled for 12-14 November 2010, will open with a Publishers Forum, according to the organizers.
“The Publishers’ Forum is to provide a concentrated space for key publishers in Nigeria to collectively appraise their current operations within the context of the challenges facing their industry”, according to the Festival spokesman Ayo Arigbabu.
“It is a ‘focus group’ or a strategy session where the facilitator(s) serve as umpires in a series of brainstorming sessions. The forum is targeted at principals of publishing houses who seek to grow their market and are willing to engage in creative thinking towards identifying strategies that can make this possible for them whether within a collective or through their individual operations”.
