The agenda tackles the key topics shaping the sector. Sessions will look at opportunities for magazine brands across various platforms, changing audience demands, and evolving commercial models.

The conference will aim not only to celebrate these changes but also examine how they will affect the industry moving forward.

"At Publishing+ next week, the UK's professional publishing community will come together to shine a light on where we're headed and how, as an industry, we can make the most of the changes we see happening."

New features for 2012 include a legal clinic, creative workshops, product demonstrations, and a networking lounge area for pre-arranged meetings.
