“I’ve attended the PPA Festival for four years now and have watched it grow into a very diverse and inclusive space to bring publishing professionals together. This year, I was able to attend as both a speaker and attendee, and it’s wonderful to see how much breathing room was given to AI, my specialty, in innovative and dynamic ways. Missing this event would put any publishing professional on the back foot, so attending is a must.”
Tara Thompson, AI Learning Specialist, Bauer Media
“This is a really important event for the industry, especially at this time, as technology in publishing is moving so quickly. It’s really important to bring people together to learn new trends, but it’s also a brilliant networking opportunity – it’s great to see people I haven’t seen for years. It’s a really wonderful event.”
