History
The Digital Innovators’ Summit was launched in 2007 to help traditional magazine publishers come together and hear how the magazine industry was developing digital businesses. In that time, as digital knowledge and experience has increased and magazine companies have become far more diversified in terms of their media platforms, the event has become attractive to a wider audience and now looks at innovations and future trends of all aspects of digital media.
