Strategic conferences during WAN-Ifra’s World Publishing Expo complement the newspaper trade exhibition, being held in Berlin from October 7-9.

Five conferences provide an opportunity to hear best cases and practices from media markets around the world. They include:



- The three one-day Shaping the Future of News Publishing forums on digital printing strategies, audience analytics and new revenue streams;

- The 6th Tablet & App Summit looks at how the app economy is energising the publishing business. It will present successful cases in what the organisers say, “appears to be a golden age of experimentation”;

- The WEF 12th International Newsroom Summit aims to provide strategies for breaking down barriers in the newsroom and increasing collaboration between editorial and technology and between broadcast, print and digital operations.
