Future of Media Technology event series: 9 to 30 September 2021

Press Gazette is hosting a month-long virtual conference in September which aims to provide media leaders with all they need to know about the future of media technology.

Each hour-long session will include:

• Insight from industry leaders
• Exclusive data and research
• Ideas for best practice from publishers and commercial partners
• Guaranteed actionable insight to help grow your business and create a more effective content strategy.

The digital news industry has largely had a successful pandemic as readers have seen the value of high-quality news and information.

This has been underlined by Press Gazette research which shows:

• surging share prices for news and information companies, with the leading companies adding $40bn to their stock-market valuations during the pandemic
• increased subscriptions for quality paywalled websites
• higher online engagement across the board.

This series of events will provide industry leaders with the information they need to take their business into the next phase of growth.
