Q and A if you are considering attending the Conference

Why attend the Conference? The Conference brings together people leading innovative specialist media businesses to share their experiences and swap tips.  Delegates can meet like minded professionals in small round table sessions, on topics including email marketing, video production, events, managing sales teams, online communities, digital editions, mobile, print innovation, virtual events, subs marketing. Delegates can nominate in advance the types of people they want to meet and we will organise short 1-1 or small group appointments in a special lunchtime networking session.

Why is the Conference paid-for? The conference focusses on sharing real-life experiences from successful media owners, not pitches from suppliers. If you are serious about growing your media business we believe it is excellent value for money.  Many delegates from 2010  rebooked for the 2011 conference.

How do I register? Booking opens Jan 2012
