World Editors Forum

The WEF & WAN-IFRA teams have rescheduled the 17th World Editors Forum to HAMBURG, Germany, from 6 to 8 October 2010, alongside the IFRA Expo (4 to 6 October). The programme is available at: www.wefhamburg2010.com

The new headline of the conference is: The Tablet Year: why mobile news will change the news business. Our goal is to show how new mobile platforms will give media organisations more opportunities to distribute news, engage younger readers and allow content monetization.

We also consider that the link between the Editors Forum and the IFRA Expo, where the latest Content Management Systems (CMS) will be presented, is a good opportunity for senior news executives to mix theory and practice, experience and technology.

Some traditional events of the Newspaper Congress have been added in order to enrich the programme:
    * the annual World Press Trends report with all figures from 190 countries including yours (45 minute session)
    * the INNOVATION presentation about new business models for media organisations (90 minute session)
    * the Golden Pen award ceremony (60 minute session).

I would like to remind you that the TRENDS IN NEWSROOMS 2010 report (160 pages report sold for 249 euros) will be given for free to the Forum's participants.

More information about accommodation, practical information and social events are already available on the conference website: www.wefhamburg2010.com

With kind regards,
