• To discuss a number of topics identified as the most pressing current magazine research issues by the FIPP’s Research Committee
• To enable participants to debate, compare notes and learn from each other’s recent experience, to the benefit of everyone’s work
• For FIPP to circulate the key points, to help improve magazine research around the world
• Speakers and attendees are given the opportunity to present any relevant research from their company, national association or agency as well as talk about any large-scale developments in their country.

Delegates in the past have attended from more than 15 countries including Argentina, Philippines, South Africa and the US.
