Recap and Photos from 5/19 Event

22 alums, both old and new, joined us at the beautiful downtown Kimmel location to hear about digital trends in both the magazine and book publishing world.

For those who could not attend, we hope to make the PowerPoints available and a list of useul urls to subscribe to for digital publishing information. For those who did attend, what was the most useful and/or surprising piece of information that you learned from the event?

And don't forget to keep July 14th free for our next meetup, which will be open to all members of the NYU Publishing Association. Location and time to come.

Happy Memorial Day,
Karina, Joanne, Ania, and Karen

Save the Date

Save the date for the next NYU Publishing Alumni event, to be held on Tuesday, May 19th. Since this event is NYU-sponsored, the location (details to come) will be great and refreshments will be served.

We're still in the planning stages, so if you have any ideas for speakers and/or requests for certain topics, please let us know.

And for current students, NYU-sponsored events are limited to alumni only (due to space limitations), but we'll be scheduling a regular meetup for all NYU Publishing Association members probably sometime in June, and hope to see you then.

Good night,
Karina, Joanne, Ania, and Karen
