FIPP Congress: First names in

You can’t build anything without solid foundations.

This year, we’re getting into the new fundamentals of what makes media businesses thrive, hearing from people who are figuring it out in real time. We’ve been building the programme for a while now and it’s time to tell you more.

The FIPP World Media Congress brings together industry leaders from across the world – publishers, editors, founders, strategists – for three days of honest conversations, knowledge sharing, networking and business. We’ve made sure there’s plenty to do beyond the sessions too. Madrid is a great city and we intend to make the most of it.

Now, a reminder…

Current pricing ends May 31st.
FIPP & WAN-IFRA Members: €1290
Non Members: €1790
