Newsrewired is coming to MediaCityUK
The next Newsrewired digital journalism conference will take place on 4 June 2020 at MediaCityUK in Greater Manchester.
After 10 years of great talks and networking in London, the Journalism.co.uk team is taking the 26th Newsrewired conference to another UK city renowned for innovation in digital publishing – Manchester.
Salford’s MediaCityUK is a thriving media hub: home to BBC, ITV, University of Salford and more than 250 smaller media and digital businesses. We are looking to offer our delegates a high-profile networking opportunity with regional media professionals, as well as a conference programme that brings latest thinking and innovation in digital publishing.
A limited number of early-bird, pre-agenda tickets is now available – book yours now for just £150 +VAT (standard price £200 +VAT). The early-bird offer ends 28 February 2020 or when the tickets sell out.
Tickets include entry to the conference, lunch and refreshments, evening networking drinks and a delegate ‘goodie’ bag.
Details of the agenda that will be announced soon.
We are also running two training courses as part of Newsrewired+ on 3 June
A focus on practical, hands-on learning has always been at the heart of our events, and Journalism.co.uk will be hosting a full day of training the day before the main conference.
A Newsrewired+ ticket allows delegates to attend the conference (3 June 2020) and one of the two full-day courses running the day before (3 June 2020). Details to be announced soon.
Early-bird Newsrewired+ tickets are now available for £360 +VAT (standard price £410 +VAT). The early-bird offer finishes on 28 February 2020 or when the tickets sell out.
