“A must-attend conference for your media’s survival.”
“I left Kraków feeling energized. The sessions ranged from big-picture industry trends to practical takeaways I could apply to my work right away. Connecting with peers over pierogi created a warm, unforgettable atmosphere, and I truly appreciate how the WAN-IFRA team wove local culture throughout the program.”
“…(The Congress) in Krakow was a powerful reminder of journalism’s resilience and adaptability in challenging times. Great mix of strategic insights and hands-on practices — from AI to audience engagement. Left Krakow inspired, connected, and full of ideas to bring back to the newsroom.”
“A fantastically useful event in so many ways. From the brilliant key notes, panels and speakers to the people you meet over coffee and drinks before and after sessions. I left having learned so much I had to use the weekend to go back over all my notes. I’d recommend the Congress as a hugely valuable event to everybody from founders and CEOs to those at the start of their career looking for insights and bright ideas.”
“…I especially appreciated the inspiring sessions on AI solutions—many of which sparked ideas we can adapt to our own systems.”
“One of the best events to get inspired and connect to industry peers both new and old. This combination is priceless.”
“The crisis in the media industry may sometimes seem disheartening. However, the congress in Krakow demonstrated that there is indeed hope. The positive and constructive discussions and presentations should inspire media professionals around the world and encourage them to look to the future with optimism.”
