“The PPA Festival is more than a thought leadership event; it’s a SWOT chart for the publishing industry, covering new developments, emerging needs, market disruptors, and best practices in the content, audience, and product spaces.”
- Alison McClintock-Warner, Specialist B2B Copywriter

“This event in particular is so based around sharing tips, sharing insights, and sharing data that you can’t help but leave feeling so inspired and having new ideas of things you can try when you get back home”
- Catherine de Lange, Editor, New Scientist

"The PPA Festival is one of the best-produced industry events I've experienced. You can feel the energy in the room. People are genuinely there to innovate, share what's working, and learn from each other."
 - Bruce Pinchbeck, Cofounder & Head of Brand, Letterhead

“Lots of incisive content and thought-provoking debates. Being in a room with so many passionate people to spark ideas and remind you why you do what you do, is the real benefit of attending these things. That, is the power of events.”
- Caroline Cronin, Event Director, emap

“The conversations, ideas, and energy throughout the event really highlighted the opportunities ahead and the exciting direction the industry is moving in.”
