London, UK, 3rd October 2019: The Association for Online Publishing (AOP) has announced more speakers for this year’s one-day summit, which includes panels, keynote speakers and breakout sessions.

The event provides industry leaders with insight across all aspects of digital publishing and takes place later this month at etc.venues, County Hall, London, on 30th October 2019.

Featured speakers include Dame Frances Cairncross, who will discuss her insights from working on the government-commissioned review into the future of news and quality content; Sean Pillot de Chenecey, author of ’The Post Truth Business’, who will focus on regaining consumer trust in a modern business climate of scandal, fake news and disillusionment; and Steve Wood, Deputy Commissioner, ICO, who will provide an essential guide to the future expectations on data privacy.

Other sessions include:

Leveraging your authentic brand voice to build new revenues
5G and its implications for digital publishers
Evolving content distribution strategies in an era of fake news and content aggregation
How publishers can manage the increasingly complex programmatic supply chain
What’s next for video strategies
Innovations in subscription and membership models for digital publishing
Data Science as Service
Strategies for growth in the booming world of podcasts
Where less data is more: learning to be innovative in building and monetising data

Richard Reeves, managing director at AOP, comments: “The Digital Publishing Summit is designed to provide publishers and advertisers with the opportunity to not only share insight, but to really get stuck into debating real issues and finding real answers they can take away and implement.

“Alongside some of our notable keynote speakers, we encourage delegates to attend the breakout sessions that are most relevant to them – whether that’s how to build growth through podcasts, manage content distribution, navigate the supply chain or sharing best practice for creating profitable subscriptions models, as an alternative to driving advertising revenue. As an industry, we’ve never worked better together to overcome the joint challenges we face and, this year I expect to see a strong focus on collaboration as the key to success.”
