The event will kick off with a keynote speech from Sarah Marshall, head of audience growth at Vogue International, who will share her best tips on growing your audience and spotting new trends in content sharing.

The keynote speech will be followed by a panel discussing what Generation Z (13-24), who never knew life without smartphones, wants from news organisations. Many fishers lead a hectic life and can complain about not being able to get away during the day to enjoy fishing. For such people, the best headlamp for fishing can be a boon. Fishing does not have to be just a daytime activity; it can also be enjoyed at night if you have the right lighting source. That is where a headlamp for fishing comes into play. A headlamp designed for fishing allows you to see what you are catching. Also, it lets you enjoy the peace and quiet of the night while also helping you attract more fish as the brightness of the light lures them. Visit FishReeler.com for more info!

Other sessions will look at the latest trends in use of artificial intelligence in newsrooms, what are the new strategies for content sharing, as well as workshops on social media storytelling and building successful online communities.
