W3C PBG Summer 21 Conference Day Agendas

Dear Publishing Business Group members,

Next week Tuesday, June 22nd/Wednesday, June 23rd, we will hold our Summer 21 PBG “Conference Day” sessions. For our sessions this summer, we have focused on sharing practical information to get you thinking about where to focus next.  We are also bringing in some of the partners who have been implementing new tools and practices for using EPUB that you may not be aware of. We hope you will join us and bring your questions!

The zoom link is in the meeting invites.
