The 2027 line-up is being assembled. Speakers will be published here as they are confirmed, track by track. In 2026 the festival brought publishers together from across South Asia; 2027 will again draw on the region’s leading news media companies, with international perspectives alongside them.

Speak at the festival

Have a case study worth sharing?

INMA programmes the festival around what publishers have actually done: an audience strategy that changed behaviour, a newsroom that reorganised around distinctiveness, a revenue model that is beginning to work, a technology or AI deployment with results to show. If your company has a story that would help peers across South Asia, tell us about it.

Proposals should describe the problem, what was tried, the results so far and what you would do differently. Vendor presentations are not accepted as sessions; partners who wish to take part can support the festival.
