PubTech Conference & STM APAC Conference Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What is the PubTech Conference?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initiated in 2023 by China National Publications Import & Export (Group) Co., Ltd.

The Conference brings together global publishing experts, technology leaders, and innovation practitioners to explore the applications and future prospects of emerging technology throughout the entire publishing workflow. It aims to support the industry in addressing challenges and advancing transformation. To date, three editions of the conference have been successfully held, building broad influence in promoting cross-sector dialogue and driving innovation in the publishing industry.<\/p>\n

What is the STM APAC Conference?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The STM APAC Conference was jointly initiated in 2025 by the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM) and China National Publications Import & Export (Group) Co., Ltd.
