The Congress runs over two days, with two round-table discussion groups on Tuesday 8th and the full conference and exhibition on 9th.
The conference on 9 July will provide you with a practical and thorough discussion of the new trends and technologies, opportunities and rewards in subscription publishing. With a mix of interactive round tables, and informative presentations split into three tracks – marketing, content and publishing strategy – there will be something for everyone.
We will also be hosting the second annual SIPA UK Awards for Excellence in Publishing – come along and see how your team does!

- Hugh Look, Senior Consultant at RightsCom, will explore the future of paid content in the revenue mix for publishers
- Grace Baynes, Corporate PR Planner at Nature Publishing Group, will explain how the Nature Network social platform was launched
- Richard Londesborough, MD at Business Monitor International, spotlights why site licences should become the most profitable and durable part of your business
- Ken McGaffin, CMO at Wordtracker, explains how keywords can be a rich source of creative ideas and help you put firm strategies behind your search engine marketing efforts.
On 8 July, the day before the main Congress, SIPA will also be hosting two half day round-table discussion forums.
