Last week I attended, and presented a keynote in the opening plenary at, my first academic publishing conference: the UK Serials Group conference.

Martin Paul Eve speaking at UKSG Conference

As I'm usually confined to English Literature, this was a bizarre experience; they put me up in a hotel, the conference meal was included free with drinks and a band + dancing, all my travel was covered. It was also massive. 860 delegates outstrips any conference that I've attended for literature.

Martin Paul Eve answering questions

There are many summaries of the content at the conference already published.

I do, however, want to share my Prezi from the event. I'll also be publishing this work in the UKSG journal, Insights, and will post with an update on that when it's out. Furthermore, it will be Open Access.
