And boy do we have a killer line up for you, with speakers from Canada, France, Spain, Norway, Brazil, UK and Germany (full agenda below).
But what’s the exciting twist, I hear you ask?!
Any Emily in Paris fans will know (😂), but in France, on Summer Solstice (which happens to be the same day as our Festival), musicians of every variety take to the streets to perform well into the night as a celebration of music – fête de la musique. As a Brit living in Paris, it’s one of my favorite days of the year!
Gutted to be missing it this year, we decided to bring the fête de la musique to London! Like a true Festival, we’ll have musicians joining us in the breaks, and we didn’t pick these musicians lightly – they’re incredible and I can’t wait to bring them to our event!
Expertise to bring back to the office, plus networking, food, wine & music… have we sold it to you yet?;)

But that’s not all… The Audiencers’ Workshop is happening on June 20th
Subscriber acquisition is all well and good, but there’s no point in getting readers to pay if they’re just going to churn days or months later. Hence why we’re organizing a workshop dedicated to retention-minded acquisition.
In partnership with Aptitude and In Digital, and with a special guest from France’s leading sports media, L’Équipe, we’ll be sharing concrete strategies, insights and best practices to intelligently acquire subscribers who will stay subscribed. Plus a fun “subscription speed dating” to brain storm with other publishing professionals facing similar challenges to yourself.
