What is the focus of the conference?

In today’s newspaper publishing environment, leaders face an increasingly complex world in which continual and rapid change is the norm. In a period of uncertainty, asking questions and framing scenarios will give confidence to leaders in this industry to go forward.

Those who act now will be in prime position to nurture and create products and services in the future. That’s the upside of a recession – it does indeed force a different way of thinking and is a catalyst for change.
