Maximise the value: ‘mini programmes’ within the overall Congress speaker programme.

With 80 international speakers participating, the FIPP World Media Congress agenda covers a range of topics and viewpoints that will give attendees thorough insight into developments in the media sector globally and within markets.

In a sense, there will be mini-events within the larger events for those wishing to deep-dive into certain topics.

The Congress speaker programme runs on 8 June and 9 June, but the learning opportunity already starts in the afternoon of 7 June with our First-Party Data Strategies seminar.
