Reach for something higher

The 95th Annual INMA World Congress of News Media returns to New York for a dynamic exploration of the rapidly evolving media landscape. In an era defined by transformation, the INMA conference theme “The New Economy of News Media” captures the essence of our discussions. We will explore the evolving power structures, information ecosystems, competitive landscapes, alliances, processes, and products that are reshaping the media industry.

Amidst these innovations, we emphasise the critical importance of mastering core business fundamentals — leadership, organisation, brand experience, revenues, and journalism as a sustainable differentiator. Join us to explore how the new and the foundational converge to shape the future of media.

Over five impactful days, INMA’s one-of-a-kind World Congress will feature dynamic sessions, keynotes, and panel discussions at The TimesCenter, the New York Times’ Midtown event gem, offering a unique opportunity to inspire and recalibrate your media strategies.

The week will be punctuated with exclusive study tours of the most iconic New York media brands, a sky-high welcome reception at the new Peak at Hudson Yards, and a celebration at the Global Media Awards dinner at the iconic Edison Ballroom. Hands-on seminars will complete our week together, taking us to the iconic Lincoln Center for the first time.

Additionally, corporate members will have the unique chance to engage in private, insightful conversations with INMA subject-matter leaders during our “Ask Me Anything” sessions, fostering valuable connections.

Reach for the top with the INMA World Congress, an experience like no other in the news industry.
