NPA Summit 2024: Tech & Trust

News Product Alliance (NPA) is accepting session proposals for the NPA Summit 2024. The summit focuses on tech and trust, and will explore how news leaders are solving journalism’s toughest challenges through audience, technology and business expertise.

Their call for session proposals is now open for YOU to propose session ideas and let them know how you’d like to participate at the NPA Summit 2024 on October 11. Session proposals are due by July 25. This is your chance to share your knowledge, learn new product management skills, and connect with peers from around the globe.

About the NPA Summit Program

The News Product Alliance Summit is a hands-on virtual conference where everyone who attends actively participates. Our mix of master classes and interactive sessions bring together participants ready to share their experiences and perspectives. Whether you’re thinking of leading a session or joining as an attendee, the NPA Summit will elevate your profile as a thought leader and help you develop solutions for the broader news industry.

Since 2021, the NPA Summit has brought together more than 500 news product thinkers annually to share ideas, co-create best practices for the news industry, and learn new product skills. More than a third of last year’s attendees told us the NPA influenced a job or title change they secured in the past year.

Proposing a Summit Session

If you’re proposing a session for this year’s Summit, here are a few things to consider:

This year, they’re making clear distinctions between two session types, and will ask you to identify which one aligns best with your session proposal:

• Master Class: Focus on skill-building with deep dives into specific tools, techniques, or strategies. These will be recorded for ongoing access.
• Interactive: Participatory conversations with peer-to-peer learning. These sessions will foster rich discussions and collaborative problem-solving without recordings to ensure a safe, open environment.

They also want to know the target audience for your session. The NPA Summit is an entry point for journalists and others to learn more about basic product management concepts and an opportunity for seasoned news product professionals to collaborate and learn from each other. They aim to provide a mix of introductory and intermediate-to-advanced level sessions, as both are important!
