The annual conference convenes newspaper media executives from across Asia-Pacific and more than 600 delegates attended last year’s series of events.

“The influence of our brands and journalism has never been greater yet finding new commercial models to sustain our future beyond the core business of print newspapers remains a complex challenge and one that we will explore at this year’s Future Forum,” said The Newspaper Works CEO Mark Hollands.

“Our world class speaker line-up will explore how mobile and video will set the commercial agenda for newspapers, the growth of programmatic trading, content marketing and native advertising and how to continue to produce high quality products that play an influential role in the advertising and communications industry and society in general.”

The Future Forum will feature three workshops, including master classes for editorial, advertising and marketing, and print and production, plus a full-day plenary and separate gala events for the Advertising & Marketing and The Newspaper of the Year awards.
