On Wednesday, May 5th, NewsBrands Ireland will host ‘NewsBrands Engage‘, a new virtual conference for the Irish advertising and media community.

This conference comes at a momentous moment for Irish and international news publishing as it enters a new era.

Quality news brands – in print and online – are experiencing a renaissance in reader connection, while globally there is a move towards placing real value on the trusted content news publishers bring to Big Tech.

This is an essential event for advertising and media professionals either working with, or within, news media brands. Attendees will hear from local and international publishers, journalists, marketers, and commercial leads as they share their experiences from the past extraordinary year and discuss their strategies for 2021 and beyond.

The conference will also feature the annual NewsBrands Ireland Media Planning Competition. Teams of junior planners are invited to sign up for this highly competitive and educational event and win great prizes and the coveted ‘Media Planning Team of the Year’ trophy.

This landmark event for the Irish advertising and news publishing community will afford attendees the opportunity to step into the unique virtual conference environment, which includes access to the main virtual conference stage for the day, live speaker & panel Q&A sessions, a virtual exhibition hall, and the opportunity to network, connect and chat with fellow online attendees, speakers and partners in real time.

Full agenda and line-up of speakers will be announced in the coming days.

This virtual event is free to attend but attendees must register here
