A New Chapter for ai@media
For the first time, ai@media goes global. In partnership with Publishing Perspectives, we’re bringing together international publishing leaders to explore how AI is reshaping our industry – from the way we create and distribute content to how readers discover and consume it.
This isn’t about future predictions or theoretical frameworks. It’s about the conversations publishers need to have right now: How are readers responding to AI-generated content? What role does metadata play in an AI-driven discovery ecosystem? How can audio transform reader engagement? And who’s building the technology that will define publishing’s next decade?
Moderated by Erin Cox (Publishing Perspectives), this half-day conference delivers global perspectives, strategic insights, and the kind of honest discussions that happen when practitioners share what’s actually working – and what isn’t.
Some Highlights:
- AI & Audio Innovation
Javier Celaya (Dosdoce) on how AI-driven publishing solutions and audiobook production are opening new markets and revenue streams for publishers worldwide. - Metadata Intelligence
Sarah Arbuthnot (Supadu) explores how smart metadata powers discovery, drives direct-to-consumer growth, and makes content accessible across platforms and formats. - Women in AI & Publishing
A round-table conversation moderated by Emma House with leading experts shaping AI strategy in publishing, discussing implementation challenges and why diverse perspectives matter in building publishing’s technological future.
Why This Conference Matters:
- Global Expertise: International speakers from Europe, the Americas, and beyond
- Strategic Focus: Real implementation challenges, not vendor pitches
- Cross-Industry Insights: Learn from markets and models different from your own
- Action-Oriented: Leave with frameworks you can apply immediately

Content
Blanca and Christian will present how German publisher Wort & Bild (known for the health magazine Apotheken Umschau) implemented an AI-powered, source-grounded Q&A search on apotheken-umschau.de—moving from classic keyword search to natural-language questions that return fast answers backed by editorially checked content. The case illustrates how AI can improve content discoverability, reader engagement, and retention without sacrificing editorial control—absolutely essential in areas like healthcare and medical information. It also shows how AI can help publishers surface and monetize evergreen journalism at scale while reducing reliance on external platforms for discovery.
