Magazine Publishing Industry Events

Magazine Publishing Industry Events

Magazine publishing technology and innovation continue to create new opportunities for publishers. Many of the annual conference events and exhibitions targeted to publishing professionals include training and sessions with digital publishing industry vendors. And with the pace of technology innovation in the magazine media industry, these conferences are important live collaboration events where ideas are shared and best practice case studies are shared.

We’re excited to announce VERTIQUL for Magazine Publishers in 2016 and we hope to attend and present our solution at conference events next year. In addition to the live events, we will schedule webinars to introduce the publishing solution to the magazine media industry over the next year and to talk about our modern magazine definitions.
