Annual Meeting

Our Annual Meeting format plan—alternating annually between virtual and in-person meetings—represents positive climate action and equitable learning opportunities for member press staff. Our virtual meetings lessen the impact of global travel and lower cost barriers to participation. At in-person conferences, we decrease materials usage with online-only programs and linen-less banquet tables, and we ask attendees to bring their own tote bags rather than manufacturing new ones.

Achieving business growth is traditionally done through a combination of growing revenue and reducing costs. The hypothesis is that a tradeoff exists between making sustainable or net zero choices, and business growth. This whitepaper seeks to explore the economic challenges and opportunities of using environmental sustainability as a driver for business growth and the role finance should play in helping publishing become net zero.

The Spare Room Project

The Spare Room project was established in 2016, and aims to help lower the financial and housing barriers that prevent young people from entering the British publishing industry. It works to match interns from outside London with publishers who have a room to spare, thus providing them access to opportunities. This makes it possible to recruit new people who may not have the economic resources to pay for expensive London accomodation.
