WAN-IFRA Consultancy Clinics one-to-one sessions

Tuesday 24 January

09:00 to 11:30

Participate in a vigorous and challenging Consultancy Clinic session where selected delegates ‘pitch’ new ideas, business plans or sticky challenges to an esteemed panel of experts who will listen, ask questions and provide valuable advice. Each selected delegate will have a total of 20 minutes in front of the panel – up to 7 minutes to ‘pitch’ and up to 15 minutes for questioning and input. Delegates will benefit from the informed perspectives, shared learning and ‘out loud’ thinking as expert panellists share their experience and knowledge.

This consultancy opportunity will be awarded to those facing the most pressing challenges or issues or those with the most interesting business ideas. Applicants must submit a brief presentation proposal outlining the business idea/nature of the problem. The areas to be addressed can include:

• Revenue, advertising and business models
• Digital, new media and strategies for the near to mid-term future
• Newsroom management, including convergence, streamlining and other issues
