Here are a few of the people and brands you will meet in London.
FIPP Mobile: Ross Sleight, Chief Strategy Officer, Somo
Respected far and wide for the breadth of his experience, his foresight and vision, Ross is considered by many the “Professor of Mobile”. At Somo, Ross advises global brands such as Audi, Axel Springer, Red Bull and Universal Music on how to harness the potential of mobile technologies. Ross will be at FIPP London, presenting a talk titled “Mobile is a mindset”.
Also hear from Google, Facebook, Golf Digest, Hearst, Martha Stewart Living, POPSUGAR, Quartz, The Daily Beast, The Economist, The New York Times, Time Inc. and more in our FIPP Mobile stream.
FIPP Tech: Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau, Chief Operating Officer, MIT Technology Review
Previously with The Economist, Elizabeth now has overall operational responsibility for new and exciting programmes and product development efforts at MIT Technology Review.

Not only will John leave you inspired, but you will also walk away with practical ideas and a checklist of how to ensure your innovations have the best chance at success. In the process you’ll have a lot of fun too. Guaranteed.
Worldwide Media Marketplace: Mike Lovell, director of investor relations, Meredith International
Allrecipes started life as a desktop brand, but today exists well and truly in a multi-platform world – very successfully so. It’s print edition boosts healthy circulation, it’s website month-to-month engagement and growth – and that’s only half the story. Mike and company will be in London, ready to meet with you to discuss Allrecipes (and other Meredith brand) partnership opportunities.
Mike will not be alone. Also meet potential partners from Axel Springer, Bonnier Publications, Burda International, Business Insider, Editoriale Domus, Future, Gloo Networks, HOLA!, IBT Media, IDEAT Editions, Imagine Publishing, IDG, Kodansha, Lovatts Media, Mondadori, Motor Presse Stuttgart, News UK, Rodale, The Daily Beast, The New York Times Syndicate, Turkuvaz Group, Vision Media Group, Women of China Media, and many, many more.

FIPP Rising Stars in Media Awards: Callie Schweitzer, Editorial Director of Audience Strategy, Motto and Time at Time Inc.
Callie is one of our 3 Rising Stars in Media Award winners for 2016. The judges said of Callie’s entry: “Tapping into the current media zeitgeist of marrying data with a gap in the market, Callie clearly has a very impressive and well-developed sense for business development. Hers is an exciting innovation, of the kind that makes one look forward to the future of media.”
Callie and the other two winners, Breton Fischetti, Director of Business Development at Business Insider in the US, and Mieke Vlok, Journalist at Huisgenoot at Media24 in South Africa, will be presented with their awards at FIPP London.
