BSME EVENTS 2024
Thursday 9 May
Secrets of subscription strategy:
New ways to engage audiences and drive growth
Subscriptions are growing in importance for magazine brands because they generate predictable, recurring revenue that can be reinvested in trusted journalism.
So how are some of the UK’s smartest editors developing and refining their subscription strategies across consumer and B2B titles?
We will discuss editorial innovations from bespoke print issues and exclusive subscriber events to sophisticated digital subscription tiers with different price points.
Dan Green, editor of The Week Junior Science + Nature, will be moderating the discussion and will be joined by
Catherine de Lange, editor of New Scientist
Nick de Semleyn, editor of Empire,
Maisie McCabe, editor of Campaign
Abi Spooner, strategy partner at Atlas
Bauer Media is kindly hosting the panel discussion at the company’s recently-opened London headquarters, The Lantern, in Euston.
BSME members are invited for free and receive priority tickets. The fee for non-members is £24 (incl VAT).
Friday 26 April
In conversation with Edward Enninful at Rosewood London
SOLD OUT
Members of the British Society of Magazine Editors are invited to our forthcoming lunch event with Edward Enninful OBE in partnership with Rosewood London.
Few editors have made more impact than Enninful during his unmatched career - from i-D and W Magazine, to most recently being editor-in-chief of British Vogue.
He is a “visionary” and “trailblazer” who has “led a transformative era”, as the judges of the BSME Awards put it when they gave him the Mark Boxer award for his outstanding contribution to magazine journalism last year.
Guests will have a unique opportunity to hear from Enninful at an intimate, on-the-record lunch on Friday 26 April 2024 at Rosewood London.
He will talk about his rise from fashion director of i-D at the age of 19 to become the first black editor-in-chief of British Vogue, the power of magazine brands to inspire audiences and drive change, and how he continues to champion diversity and inclusion in new ways — in front of and behind the camera. Enninful will also discuss his compelling 2022 autobiography, A Visible Man, and his thoughts on the future of media, fashion and more.
Lunch includes a two-course meal with wine.
BSME Members receive priority bookings until Monday 15 April at 1pm. Bookings will be open to non-members thereafter.
