Something big is happening at Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh this August. It’s something magazine-shaped and we’re delighted to say we’re very much involved!
Magfest 2012 is a PPA Scotland project and has been developed by a group of enthusiastic Scottish publishers keen to celebrate about not only their own work but the whole vibrant, diverse world of magazines in the UK and around the globe.
There will be public workshops, an industry day and a public exhibition held in the splendid Our Dynamic Earth building. There is an absolutely brilliant list of speakers already confirmed including Jeremy Leslie (MagCulture), Andrew Losowsky (The Huffington Post), John Bird MBE (The Big Issue), Christopher Ward (Redwood Publishing), Alison Bradley (Fusion Flowers), Barry McIlheney (PPA), Heleanor Gilmour (DC Thomson), Chris van der Kuyl (BrightSolid), Max von Abendroth (European Magazine Media Association), Lucy Johnston (Bread & Butter Marketing), Karen Canty (Future Foundation), Richard Nicholls (Future Foundation), Mark Millar (Future plc), Paul McNamee (The Big Issue), Paul Keers (Axon Publishing), John Sanderson (UPM), Matthew Ball, yours truly (Matt McArthur) and more.
