Why INMA London? Why now?

The London news media market is unlike any in the world.

What happens in London doesn’t stay in London. It reverberates everywhere.

Digital transformation pressures abound with media companies worldwide, yet the London context is different:

  • Competition: How news media responds in London is shaped by hyper-competition for readers and journalism.
  • Magnet for innovation: Where there is great competition, there is innovation and risk-taking. London draws together the best journalism and business practices.
  • Brand exports: That competition is breeding an exportation of cherished U.K. news brands to the four corners of the world.
  • The tech element: London is an epicenter of the shift from the birthplace of legacy media to a hub that is pioneering AI. London has answers to this new disruption.

The 94th Annual INMA World Congress of News Media in London will put you in proximity to:

  • The INMA global community brought together on one stage
  • Iconic British news brands
  • An unparalleled advertising community
  • An innovative tech sector

From the chaos of London’s friction comes unique insights that media professionals can’t get anywhere else in the world.

We will create a great global stage and shine a spotlight on how the news industry confronts challenges: business models, journalism’s true value, and where news brands fit in a rapidly changing ecosystem.

What can news media executives around the world learn from London?

What can London media companies learn from their counterparts around the world?

Most importantly, we will connect as a community at world-class venues known the world over:

  • Queen Elizabeth II Centre
  • Tower of London
  • Victoria & Albert Museum

This is a rare opportunity to experience the “INMA conversation” worldwide – with a flair and charm that only London can provide.

Raise the bar. Aspire to something greater. Prioritise the INMA World Congress in London as we trumpet the new age of news media.
