Media Transformation Summit
September 29, 2026 · 9:00 AM Eastern Time · Online
The Media Transformation Summit returns for its fourth edition: practical conversations with publishing leaders and transformation operators about what is actually changing, what matters, and what is worth acting on.
Real examples, honest lessons, and the signals that matter — a working session, not vendor theater.
The July edition brought together 500+ registrations, around 200 live participants, 9 speakers and 7 sessions.
Research open
What should publishers watch, explore, pilot or scale?
Publishing Technology Radar 2026
The Publishing Technology Radar is being built with input from publishing professionals around the world. The goal is simple: create an evidence-based framework that helps publishing leaders understand which technology-enabled capabilities deserve attention now, which are worth testing, and where it may be better to wait.
An international Publishing Signal initiative, developed with DIGITAL PUBLISHING REPORT as editorial and research partner.

Why this platform exists
The industry deserves a clearer signal.
Publishing has no shortage of conferences, vendor decks or trend reports. What it lacks is a steady, independent place where the people doing the work can compare notes — without performance and without pitch.
Publishing Signal is built for that: a working platform for publishing leaders, transformation operators and the partners they trust. Small enough to be useful. Specific enough to be true.
