The Inma World Congress is the association’s signature event, bringing together the top executives from the leading news media companies in 40+ countries to discuss business strategy — with an intense focus on audience, revenue, and brand.

Over the holidays, the organisers pushed live Inma’s primary areas of focus:

1. Strategy and vision

• The emerging value of news brands
• Alternative business models and value drivers
• Differentiating journalism in the era of “fake news”

2. The economics of content

• Content economics and the hierarchy behind revenue levers
• Freemium, meter, and hybrid models: what’s working and not working
• Pay and stay: consumer engagement best practices

3. Product and tech

• The emerging role of smart data and AI
• Video strategies: global revolution vs. local bust?
• What’s next in mobile beyond the smartphone?

4. New experiences in advertising

• Marketing services and the new media value proposition
• An advertising tour de force: native + programmatic + print
