Dinner club
The PPA now offers an exclusive opportunity for businesses to host an evening of dining among influential members of the publishing industry. Our events are designed to aid networking and maximise business development opportunities in a relaxed and sociable setting.

Breakfast briefings
The PPA offers co-hosted, bespoke, exclusive events. Along with a speaker from your company, we ask the sponsor to invite a publisher you currently work with to come to the event, so it is as informative as possible for the audience, while getting your message across.
The process for this typically involves:
- Topic agreed up front
- Target audience to be agreed depending on the topic
- Fully marketed to appropriate segment of PPA membership
- Event typically held at PPA offices (if required) between 9am and 11am (free to attend for delegates)
- Meeting room hire fee and catering costs must be covered by the sponsor
Webinars
The PPA offer firms the chance to run a co-hosted webinar to their publisher network on a topic of their choice.
Topics are co-created with the PPA to maximise engagement.
We have found the most successful events are problem solving and case study led, featuring a publisher you work with already.
Attendee data is supplied to the sponsor before/after the webinar.
