- Seminars
IPG members meet on a regular basis to discuss important industry issues. These seminars are an excellent way to pick up useful business tips and learn from the experts. Issues under debate have included sales, marketing, rights, distribution, retailing and e-commerce. - The IPG annual conference
The IPG’s spring conference is a must-attend event that looks at varied publishing matters and runs workshops on many aspects of the industry.
We invite key figures to talk and share advice, and run a troubleshooting session where members can seek answers to their questions from fellow delegates. The social side of the conference is also a bonus: meeting fellow publishers and networking with business contacts. - International issues
Export sales and rights deals are a great way for independent publishers to expand their market — but getting started is not easy. IPG members share tips on breaking into new markets and exploiting mature markets to best effect at seminars and other gatherings. - Book fairs
Join the IPG’s collective stand at important book fairs in London, Frankfurt and Beijing. Because the IPG negotiates great deals on stands, sharing space is a cost and time-efficient way of having a presence at these highprofile events. Occasional trade missions allowing members to take an in-depth look at important territories are also available. - Sector-specific advice
The IPG has four thriving special interest groups covering trade and children’s publishing; the education sector; academic and professional books; and the supply chain. These groups give members advice that is tailored to their own specialisms, plus contact with colleagues working in a similar field. - Training
The IPG meets your training needs at an affordable price with a range of options to suit companies of all shapes and sizes.
