Jaipur to host WAN-IFRA India 2010
T
he WAN-IFRA India 2010 Conference, the premier conference for Indian newspapers and news publishers, will be held on September 15-16 in Jaipur. This eighteenth annual event of WAN-IFRA South Asia is to go in the Pink city for the first time, and will have parallel ‘Production Conference’ and ‘Newsroom Summit – South Asia’.
With focus on convergent newsroom strategies and young reader concepts, the Newsroom Summit, to be held for the first time in the region, will be an extension of the Newsroom Summit that WAN-IFRA organises in Europe and the Asia Pacific region every year; while the Production Conference will discuss technological innovations, process management and other contemporary newspaper production subjects.
Although the conference will not be accompanied by the acclaimed WAN-IFRA Expo India, which follows a biennial cycle and will be held next year, the event will offer sponsorship opportunities and a limited number of ‘supplier info tables’. WAN-IFRA South Asia is inviting submissions of papers on the conference themes to be presented for consideration by the conference programme committee.
