Leveraging news media’s data-driven product revolution: building new product foundations, enabling growth, and maximising opportunities with the right data, decisions, and teams

Knowing what data to gather

Making data-driven product decisions

Building integrated teams

Building data-informed products

The future of cutting-edge news media products, built on data

Product and Data are intrinsically linked. Successful products can only be built if decisions are based on solid, insightful data. And the data that is gathered and analysed is largely driven by product. During this INMA Product and Data Summit, we will learn the key issues product and data leaders and practitioners face today alongside worldclass case studies that attempt to solve these issues and maximise opportunities.
