On November 18, 2025, our Demandsens product owner, Marc Hispa, had the privilege of speaking at the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) webinar on “AI in the Publishing Supply Chain.”

With over 100 participants from across the U.S. book industry, including publishers, distributors, and supply-chain leader. The session was a dynamic exchange of ideas on one of the most pressing challenges facing the industry today: how AI can transform supply-chain performance in publishing.

Key highlights from the webinar

  • AI as a Game-Changer: The discussion centered on how artificial intelligence is reshaping forecasting, inventory management, and print-run decisions—critical levers for improving agility and efficiency in publishing.
