HarperCollins president and CEO Brian Murray will be the sole speaker at Frankfurt Book Fair's CEO talk October 8, the day the fair opens. For the second year in a row, the event features a single guest. In 2013, Penguin Random House CEO Markus Dohle was the sole speaker at an event that had usually offered a panel of publishing CEOs.
During this year's talk, Murray will be questioned for an hour by various trade reporters, which will be followed by a 30-minute q&a session. The event will be moderated by Ruediger Wischenbart and its focus is "the current transformation of the global book business."
