meeting's theme, "Igniting the Future," reflects the creative
energy and creative destruction sweeping our industry. The collision of
crumbling business models and revolutionary innovation creates sparks of
opportunity even as some of the traditions we hold dear go up in
flames. Amid calls for crowd sourcing and open access, we hold fast to the
core values of university press publishing—peer-reviewed scholarly
content that will advance knowledge beyond the walls of the academy. We
likewise seek to sustain the future of scholarly communication by committing
our collective knowledge to the leaders of the future, early-career publishing
professionals hungry for knowledge about nuts and bolts and best practices. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
