INMA will guide you through news industry best practices and strategies from the leading European news media companies, with a special emphasis on Germany: a European News Media Conference, a Local Reader Revenue Symposium, a German Media Study Tour and an editorial-focused Scoopcamp specifically for innovative storytellers. All in one week.
"I was born in Liverpool, but grew up in Hamburg." — John Lennon
Why is INMA holding its annual Media Innovation Week in Hamburg? Because, simply put, Hamburg is the Media Capital of Germany. Indeed, many well-known legacy media brands such as Die Zeit, Hamburger Abendblatt, G+J, Der Spiegel and Bild were either founded in Hamburg and/or are now headquartered in the city. On top of that, Hamburg is home to a vibrant startup community; with the Next Media Accelerator the city is home to a range of European startups (not just German).
Hamburg, being a big traditional port city, is literally and figuratively, the "door to the world" for many. Google, XING and Facebook have also set up their German headquarters here. It's also home to Germany's biggest online marketing platform: Online Marketing Rockstars (omr.com).
"Hamburg is the best combination of what Berlin and Munich have to offer" said one German media executive, adding "Berlin is the young and hip city with the most startups in Germany; Munich has most of the good old, sturdy traditional German companies. Hamburg has both".
The INMA European News Media Conference (now in its 47th year) is where European media executives gather for a passionate and creative look at the changing revenue and brand dynamics impacting the relationship between content and audiences. This conference gives you the best executive-level overview of European media best practices. Don't expect hollow projections of how our future will look like but rather practical, tried-and-tested case studies, insights and strategies by leading European publishers across the continent.
