Publishing Summit

Europe

Barcelona, Spain

October 15-17, 2018

 

RETHINKING THE BUSINESS MODEL

 

The publishing world is at a turning point. The future of the industry is being shaped around GDPR, consumer revenue, halting the attrition of (and growing) ad dollars and more.

At the Digiday Publishing Summit Europe, taking place in Barcelona, Spain from Oct. 15-17, we’ll hear how senior executives at Hearst, The Guardian, The Economist, Tribuna Digital and more are rethinking the publishing business model and the very DNA of the industry. If you attend, you’ll be among a crowd of leaders from BBC, Condé Nast, CNN and other top publishers that are tackling subscriber churn, deploying reader-first strategies and much more.

Attendees will also have the chance to network with hundreds of senior buy-side executives and decision makers. Our signature 8-Minute Meetings, working group sessions and casual networking activities will be perfect opportunities to make strong, meaningful connections with those in attendance.

Register by Aug. 20 to receive our early rate and get $200 off passes.

 
 
 

Featured Sessions

 

Building a Paywall That is About More Than Simply Charging for Your Content
Christoph Schmitz, Product Manager, Subscriptions at Aller Media
Some publishers use flexible models. Some personalise with AI tools. Some try metered paywalls. Aller Media will discuss how they’re building different subscription products around their various titles; each tailored to specific audiences and their engagement with the title.

Getting Closer to Brands: A Seismic Shift in Brand-Publisher Relationships
Ryan Skeggs, General Manager at GiveMeSport
It’s no secret that the role of agencies is in question right now with publishers increasingly going brand-direct, but what does this look like and how do agencies feature in this new equation? And with GDPR liability at times being pushed onto publishers, how do you navigate this complex landscape?

Scott Messer, VP & GM at Leaf Group
For publishers that are reliant on ad revenue, how are they future-proofing their business models with more privacy directives on the horizon?
