SYP Oxford warmly invites you to reimagine the future of publishing at our 2025 annual SYP Conference— Off the Beaten Press: Publishing for the Next Generation. 

Join us at Oxford Brookes University on Saturday, 8th November, for insights, inspiration, and invaluable connections. 

Why you should attend?

We are proud to be partnering with the Oxford international Centre for Publishing for this year’s conference. We are bringing together industry leaders, rising talents, and innovators to explore three key themes:

  • Industry trends shaping the next decade
  • Market dynamics driving reader engagement
  • Individual career journeys and growth opportunities

Plus, gain firsthand advice from our keynote speaker, Mary Cannam, Chief Executive Officer at Faber & Faber.

An action-packed agenda  

The day will feature Q&A panels, workshops, and career speed-dating to inspire those at the start of their publishing careers or looking to progress within the industry (and lots of bookish freebies!). Stick around after 5:00 PM for a relaxed post-conference drinks reception.

We can’t wait to spark fresh conversations, showcase bold ideas, and equip future publishers with the tools, insight, and inspiration to shape what comes next.
