Wan-Ifra India 2016 Conference is the 24th annual conference in South Asia which will be held on 21 and 22 September in Kolkata, India. The event is the meeting point of all the newspaper publishers in the South Asia region. The World Printers Forum will take place alongside the 2016 Wan-Ifra India conference. 

The conference will have three parallel tracks – Newsroom Summit, Printing Summit and Cross-media Advertising Summit. The conference will discuss the business and technology challenges and provide a direction into the future of the news publishing industry in the region. The conference draws much significance in the backdrop of the digital media revolution facing the South Asian news publishing industry on one hand and the challenge of managing the growth of print media business on the other hand.

The Wan-Ifra printing summit is exclusively dedicated to the delegates in newspaper production. Speakers from various countries will bring their hands-on practical experiences on the day-to-day issues in printing as well as the best use of latest newspaper printing technologies in the world. 

Most of the newsroom executives are under journalistic pressure to cater to the changing needs of readers with limited resources. The Newsroom Summit helps to keep your newsroom vibrant, effective and affordable. The summit is aimed at editors, chief editors, news editors, managing editors as well as other professionals in the media business.

The Cross Media Ad Summit provides latest trends and ideas that are being implemented by leading publishers in recent months to enhance their revenue in both digital as well as print. This summit is best for digital, marketing and advertising executives. 

Wan-Ifra India 2015, the 23rd annual conference along with the fifth edition of the biennial Wan-Ifra India Expo was successfully held at Bombay Convention & Exhibition Centre, Mumbai from 2 to 4 September. The event attracted more than 1,200 participants including all delegates as well as visitors.
