Your opportunity for time with an expert - Learn to lead our evolving media world
Magazine media is evolving. Fast.
To keep up, we need to learn to use all platforms available to engage with our audiences. We have to be more savvy with how we maximise technology, and we need to get our heads around the phenomenon of convergence.
Few people are more experienced in these areas than Romney Whitehead, former Head of Platforms at NET-A-PORTER.
The MPA are thrilled to announce that Romney is heading to our shores to share her extensive knowledge at our annual Magazine Conference on 26th May. We’ve also arranged a series of exclusive MPA sessions, giving our members the opportunity to work directly with Romney.
With options to work one-on-one or in small group sessions, Romney will help you gain the upper hand in the race towards convergence.
Converge with Romney, and emerge with new knowledge and ideas for your business.
There are a number of ways you can make the most of Romney’s experience, from small group sessions to one-on-one time to work specifically with your business requirements.

Romney Whitehead - Leading the world of content-led media convergence
With five years at The NET-A-PORTER group and nine before that at BBC Worldwide, Romney has always been at the leading edge of technology enabled media.
