This edition of our annual conference shifts online for a special two-day celebration of magazines.
As we make this move online, we’ve split the event into two Zoom sessions. Each one has its own theme, and the overall mood will be one of celebration.
It’s been a tough year – join us to be reminded of the creative power of great magazines. Our speakers will share inspiration across writing, design, illustration, typography and photography.
Each day’s session runs for three hours from 4–7pm GMT. You can buy tickets for one session or both.
