Join us at the IPG’s 2024 Autumn Conference!

Posted on September 3, 2024 in UK

On Tuesday 17 September we will be supporting the Independent Publishers Guild’s 2024 Autumn Conference. It’s a great day out that’s packed with inspiring and informative content, and we’d like to invite you to join us with a special deal on tickets.

The IPG’s award-winning Autumn Conference brings together several hundred publishers and suppliers for keynote talks, case studies, streamed sessions and the best networking and socialising around. There’s no better place to connect with publishers and improve your knowledge and skills.

The theme of this year’s Autumn Conference is plain and simple: ‘Getting stuff done’. The programme is focused on seizing opportunities, finding solutions to challenges and becoming more effective at our work. Big-name keynote speakers include former government director of communications, journalist, author and podcaster Alastair Campbell, who will talk about the political and media landscapes and what publishers can learn from podcasting; and broadcaster Dharshini David, with expert insights into the global economy and future prospects for businesses.

Publishing masterclasses include Rachel Williams and Jenny Broom on the rise of Magic Cat Publishing, the 2024 CPI Independent Publisher of the Year, and there will be case studies of success from some of the most dynamic independents around, including Bristol University Press. Artificial Intelligence will be a major theme, with sessions on its impact on publishing and licensing, and there will be guidance on hot topics like distribution, sustainability, literacy, business finance, accessibility, author relations, audio, metadata and much more. You can see the full programme here.

In between sessions are several opportunities to meet old contacts and make new ones, and there’s a drinks reception afterwards. It all takes place at the Shaw Theatre in central London, which has superb facilities, excellent food and easy transport links. 

For the best offers on tickets….

We’re very pleased to be able to share access to the Autumn Conference for SYP members, with tickets at IPG members’ prices. To book your place, email the IPG’s events team at events@independentpublishersguild.com and they’ll do the rest.

We’re really looking forward to our day at the Autumn Conference. Hope to see you there!
