Can’t miss reading/listening: Congress speaker Q&As, podcasts and more

Over the last months we have published several speaker Q&As, related stories and podcasts. The stories not only introduce speakers, but are packed with insights and “how to’s” on themes delegates will hear much more about at the World Congress. 

We will be publishing several more stories in coming weeks – so be sure to check back at FIPP.com and FIPPcongress.com regularly. Take a look at the programme (subject to minor changes) as well and register if you haven’t yet (see the latest list of registered companies).
