It is very easy to think that some of the ways that the scholarly communication industry functions are set in stone. But the reality is, new technologies mean that many previously intractable problems are now tractable: what’s stopping us is cultural inertia. To unpick this, a key first step is to build new ways of thinking into our mental toolkits. 

This session brings together three exciting industry and non-industry examples of what new technologies and techniques are doing right now to completely reimagine products, processes, and business models. From data to diamonds to decentralization, the speakers are not just using cutting edge technology, they are also challenging traditional thinking while doing so. We hope to ignite your imaginations and get some lively conversations going!
