That's right, we said "neuromarketing"—it's a branch of marketing research that studies consumers' sensorimotor, cognitive, and affective response to marketing stimuli. Opening this year's Tech Forum 2016 with her keynote address, "Humanize the Reader: Innovations in Neuroscience," Diana Lucaci will be applying innovations from this field to help the book industry humanize readers so we can earn their loyalty by better understanding their values and emotions.

With our final keynote announced, we're also excited to share that both Tech Forum and ebookcraft have a majority of women presenting, speaking on panels, and holding workshops, which means we're officially helping to make the industry 50/50. We're excited to have each and every one of our speakers—all exceptional leaders in their fields—joining us this spring!
Stay tuned for a guest blog post from Diana where she will be expanding on her work in neuromarketing and explaining how it can be applied to the book industry.
