Led by a moderator, these roundtables provide an opportunity for peer to peer discussions on a key topic in a smaller group. Attendees will be invited to pre-select their chosen topics in advance of the event. Roundtables will be repeated after the coffee break so you have the chance to participate in another conversation on a second topic of your choice.

Sunsetting Of Cookies, First Party and Contextual Data Solutions and the Impact On Digital Marketing

Change happens slowly and then hits hard. Brands are seeing up to 90% loss of audience activity data compared to just two years ago.

In this session we explore what the end of 3rd party cookies means to you, how best to minimise the loss of data which follows, and how to maximise the opportunities in store for media companies.

Host:

Markus Karlsson, CEO, Affino

Balancing Costs

Whilst it feels like publishing costs are soaring (paper, print, people and energy costs for example), we use this opportunity to share ideas around easy (and longer term) wins to help balance those cost increases.

Host

Heather Jackson, Business Development Manager, Pensord

From A to EU: Overcoming VAT & Duty Challenges for EU destinations

On 1st July this year, VAT and duty regulations relating to the movement of goods (including magazines and periodicals) into EU member states from countries outside the EU, changed. Whilst some publishers were prepared for the changes, many across the industry struggled to understand the new requirements. Join this session with distribution experts from Air Business to discuss how to overcome these challenges and implement our tried and tested solutions.

Air Business is unable to give advice on taxation issues as it is not a taxation expert or consultancy, and strongly recommends you seek appropriate, independent tax and legal advice if you are unclear how the new regulations will affect your business.

Host:

Mark Everitt, Head of Strategic Accounts, Air Business

Subscriptions Trends: What Now?

The pandemic and national lockdowns have created new challenges and opportunities for publishers. Many people have returned to or engaged with new passions, and behaviours have also changed. This roundtable discussion looks at changing subscription trends and opportunities to grow your subscription audiences.

Host:

Romano Sidoli, Head of Magazine Relations, News Team Group

A Matter of Trust

How can publishers distinguish their content from the proliferation of material online and social media? Join this discussion to talk about navigating the various challenges and learn how independent regulation can add value to your brand.

Host:

Charlotte Dewar, Chief Executive, IPSO

Sustainability

This topic is at the forefront of conversations especially with COP26 having recently taken place in Glasgow. How can smaller businesses be more sustainable and what does it mean outside of "being green"? Luke Nicholls joins this roundtable fresh off the back of attending COP26, so it's sure to be an insightful discussion.

Host:

Rob Chambers, Managing Director, Total Telecom
Luke Nicholls, Content Director, edie, Faversham House

Website Duplication & Copyright Theft – The Growing Threat to Journalism

The content you invest time and money in creating is systematically scraped and hosted on fake, cloned and illegitimate news sites every day. It’s a problem that is growing, but one which many publishers may be unaware is affecting them.

NLA’s software ‘Text Tracker’ has removed over 500,000 copyright infringed articles across thousands of domains since its inception, and ~20,000 articles in 2021 YTD across 35 media brands.

Join this roundtable to share experiences with other publishers and find out if NLA's copyright experts can help you.

Host:

Matt Aspinall, Head of Publisher Services, NLA Media Access
