APC’s program includes a combination of plenary and boot-camp sessions featuring widely recognised multimedia industry leaders from all over the globe and workshops and demonstrations on topic-specific innovations and the best prevalent multimedia publishing practices.

The objective of the convention is to showcase successful business models, formats and platforms in the publishing industry. The theme of the 2013 convention is ‘Get it Right or Perish’.
