Unlocking Congress speakers + Limited discount rates end soon!

As we continue counting down to the 46th FIPP World Media Congress, we are pleased to announce our next group of six confirmed speakers, adding to the 24 already announced.

Congress takes place on June 4-6 in Cascais, Portugal. Our pre-agenda discounted rate closes in two weeks, so if you want to save on ticket rates, we suggest signing up sooner rather than later.

Why meet in person at Congress?

Nothing in business is easy and as media operators we know it better than most – no-one else understands that as acutely as your industry colleagues. And while online resources and virtual meetups are extremely valuable, attending in-person industry events such as Congress provides several unique benefits.

Here are just five of them.

Unmatched focus: There are fewer distractions when you immerse yourself in an event environment. You can dedicate time to absorbing information and engaging with your peers.
Concentrated learning: Industry events feature keynotes, panel discussions and presentations from thought leaders and specialists. You get a front-row seat to the latest trends, best practices and emerging ideas, helping you to validate, strategise and develop a competitive edge.
Serendipitous encounters: Chance conversations in breaks, social events, or even in line for coffee can spark new connections and unexpected insights you would miss out on virtually.
Deeper engagement: Face-to-face interactions allow for richer communication through body language, tone, and the ability to have real-time conversations that build relationships.
Deeper connections: In-person events offer the opportunity to interact directly with peers, discuss shared interests and build stronger networks, collaborations and partnerships.

In 2023, we had participants from 43 countries at Congress, and we are already well on our way there again (somewhere nearing thirty countries now). Join your colleagues in Cascais, and sign up before our exclusive pre-agenda offer ends.
