65th World Newspaper Congress

2013 brings a new look to the world’s newspapers and news publishers annual summit meetings.  This year the World Newspaper Congress and World Editors Forum will be joined by the World Newspaper Advertising Forum, making Bangkok the centre of the publishing universe this June.

The 65th World Newspaper Congress, 20th World Editors Forum and 23rd Newspaper Advertising Forum - to be held concurrently from 2 to 5 June in Bangkok, Thailand - are designed to provide participants with strategic knowledge and ideas for answering the challenges of the media industry's fast-paced transformation.


Innovation, inspiration and interaction are the three themes of the events.

The World Newspaper Congress addresses management and business issues facing news media and examines emerging new business models and revenue streams.

The World Editors Forum provides newsroom personnel with an annual meeting place to examine innovations in journalism and newsroom organisation. Attendees will acquire new skills in data journalism, storytelling tools and techniques, plus much more.

The World Advertising Forum is the annual venue for publishers and advertising executives to share successful strategies for increasing advertising revenues from both digital and print – and how to show advertisers the full value of your audience.

With the venue being set in the heart of Asia, the Congress, Editors Forum and Ad Forum will get an upfront seat at the region’s vitality, productivity and it’s booming media industry. WAN-IFRA's event is expected to draw more than 1,000 publishers, chief editors, CEOs, advertising directors and guests to the vibrant city of Bangkok. What better place to meet and network than at the Bangkok Convention Centre – the heart of one of the world’s most exciting and welcoming cities!
