Molecular Connections
Thought Leadership Summit
Connect with the world’s leading publishing experts and thought leaders at our annual Thought Leadership Summit.
One of the biggest challenges for any publisher or society is how to keep up with the changing industry. Managing a publishing or membership operation is challenging enough by itself, and inevitably, current awareness and identifying best practice have to be slotted in around other, more pressing, engagements.
This is why the Molecular Connections Publishing Thought Leadership meetings are so valuable. Each year, in September, Molecular Connections provides a forum for presentation and discussion for a select group of senior figures in the industry, discussing a wide array of topics concerning the scholarly publishing community.
