Taking place on May 21 and building on the success of last year’s RE_INVENTED// conference, The PPA Festival will this year bring even more speakers, sessions and delegates together at Location House in Central London to explore, discuss, and celebrate the future of magazine media brands, says the PPA.
Festival delegates will be able to move between four stages, and some of the highlights include:
The Future of Magazine Media: Four of our key industry leaders discuss how far magazine media has come, and what to expect next from their ever-evolving brands. Featuring Nicholas Coleridge, President, Conde Nast International; Anna Jones, CEO, Hearst Magazines UK; Paul Keenan, CEO, Bauer Media; Marcus Rich, CEO, Time Inc. (UK).
From Magazine Junior To King Of Fashion: Henry Holland, now king of top fashion brand The House Of Holland, started life as a junior on Sneak Magazine. Sunday Times Style Deputy Editor Laura Atkinson talks to him in this PPA Festival exclusive interview.
The Marcus Morris Lecture: John Bird, social entrepreneur and founder of The Big Issue, delivers the annual Marcus Morris Lecture.
The Man Behind GQ: Dylan Jones OBE, the multi-award-winning Editor of GQ discusses his career as an Editor and author with David Hepworth.
How Video Changed the Game for Jamie Oliver: Zoe Williams, Creative Director of Food at Fresh One Productions, explains how the Food Tube channel has completely reinvented premium content for the chef’s media empire.
Barry McIlheney, CEO of the PPA, said: “We are hugely excited about The PPA Festival. The calibre of speakers confirmed so far and the range of issues on the agenda makes it simply unmissable for anyone working in magazine media.
"But this event is more than just the speakers and the sessions. It is the one day when everyone in magazine media comes together, from the CEOs right through to the students looking to forge a career in our sector, and it all makes for an incredible snapshot of the continued reinvention going on in our world right now. We expect it to sell out, so book now to avoid disappointment!"
