What can established publishers, independent creators and the next generation of journalists learn from one another?
Join MACMA and FIPP, the global association for the media and magazine content industry, on December 3, 2026, for a conversation about the ideas and innovations shaping media’s future. Our Holiday Extravaganza will bring the two communities together at People Inc. headquarters in New York City for a program built around a shared theme: Innovations in Publishing: Building the Future of Media.
Across the industry, media organizations are finding new ways to reach audiences, develop products and build sustainable businesses. The program will explore those challenges from several perspectives, with conversations featuring leaders from established media brands alongside independent creators and emerging voices.
