We’re so excited to officially announce that SYP London will be hosting the annual conference this year on Saturday 14th November at Kingston University! Our theme this year is Publishing For All – an investigation into accessibility, diversity and inclusion across the industry.
Through a series of discussions with fellow industry professionals, we hope to explore the trajectory of diversity within the industry. We will showcase the positive changes that have been made in the industry, engaging in timely discussions about current industry trends and topics, whilst also looking towards a hopeful future for publishing. There will be an action-packed day planned of panels, Q&A’s workshops and industry stands for both publishing hopefuls and junior level people to gain insight into the industry or to expand their knowledge further.
This year’s Keynote Speaker is Bloomsbury’s Accessibility Manager, Elizabeth Kellingley, winner of London Book Fair’s 2025 Trailblazer Award and Chair of Bloomsbury’s Accessibility Network. Elizabeth has also launched Bloomsbury’s first adult Dyslexia-Friendly books, championing accessibility across the entire publishing industry.
All tickets are inclusive of a buffet lunch and refreshments throughout the day and there will be lots of free bookish goodies on offer! Please see the link below for tickets:
