Table of contents:

Digital publishing teams are navigating sustained change across monetization, distribution, AI-driven workflows, and platform complexity. While these pressures are familiar, many publishers are still working through how to translate them into practical operating decisions.

In this session, leaders from VIP, Fueled, and The Independent unpack the key themes from the Digital Publishing Trends whitepaper. The discussion focuses on where publishers are feeling the biggest shifts today and how teams are responding across content operations, workflows, and platforms.

Rather than a trend recap, this conversation centers on action. You’ll walk away with a clearer view of what to prioritize now, what can wait, and how publishing teams are translating industry change into concrete next steps.
