Feedback consistently shows that publishers and suppliers find attendance to be a valuable experience for both the company and the editorial team.
 
Attending in person, having an exhibition stand and/or sponsoring some element of the Awayday enables you to:

• organise in-person meetings and build rapport with your existing valued freelancers.

• meet new diverse, experienced editors and authors with up-to-date skills to broaden your freelance pool.

• line up freelancers for pipeline projects (consider posting a Job Spot advert prior to the Awayday outlining possible roles and inviting freelancers to meet to discuss them).

• invite your in-house team to conference sessions on current innovations, issues and trends affecting our sector and publishing processes.

• take part in meaningful discussion with representatives of other publishing organisations, packagers and small and medium-sized suppliers.

• contribute to the collective development of the freelance community through open and honest dialogue.

• have a platform to speak directly to all delegates, highlighting your brand values and how you work with freelancers (and publishing organisations) through a range of sponsorship options.
