BiblioU 2021

More than 250 individuals from over 55 publishers joined us for BiblioU 2021 - our exclusive, global event, designed especially for you, our customers. This year's programme - which took place on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th October - featured a grand total of 19 presentations from both guest speakers and Virtusales staff, plus a variety of breakout and networking sessions all focussed on bringing Virtusales customers together to learn about how the Biblio suite of publishing software is being used in the community and the benefits of implementing the various workflows available within.

Throughout the course of the event, attendees learnt about the latest, key Biblio developments that have come about over the past 12 months with a view to identifying the specific areas of their businesses which can be bettered by learning from fellow users’ experiences and success stories. And a great deal was learnt by all!

We would like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt Thank You to our guest speakers (listed below) for their fantastic presentations and for sharing their time, knowledge and expertise with us throughout the event. We really couldn't have done it without you!
