Brooke Oliverson of the children’s publishing house Cobblestone/Carus Publishing says she’s focused on learning about innovations in mobile at this year’s conference. 

“What I’m hoping to get out of the mobile sessions is to better understand not just how to sell things online and not just how to make an app but how to really market it,” Oliverson said.

Oliverson talks about what she’s learned at this year’s conference in this video.
