Meet Macmillan Education

Registration opens two weeks before the event.

This webinar is part of a series of 'Publishing landscape' presentations from publishers and packagers, both big and small, covering:

• Background to the organisation (when/why they started, who they’re owned by, company values, etc)

• The areas they publish for (regions, sectors, product types, their specialisms)

• Their organisation (offices around the world, number of people on staff, internal structure)

• How they work with freelancers (Is there an onboarding process? Do they have 'approved suppliers'? etc)

• Looking forward, what kind of freelance work are they looking to outsource?

• Predictions of trends for the next 12 months
