Visitors to the BEA site can now listen to the announcements of the winners and hear the honorees acceptance speeches at www.bookexpocast.com.
O’Reilly Media this week announced it will hold a “Tools of Change of Publishing” conference June 18-20 in California. The meeting, which organizers hope will become an annual affair, will be held in the San Jose Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, CA.

The goal of the conference is to help publishers find profitable business models in the technology arena.
