About this event

Unable to hold our usual NY conference this month, we’re excited to announce we’re leaving the lecture theatre to bring the magCulture Live experience to your home.

The two-hour event will be a virtual celebration of magazines in the 2020 pandemic, with international speakers from different areas of magazine publishing sharing creative responses to Covid-19.

Confirmed speakers:

Ticket prices include Eventbrite fees and taxes, there are no extras to be added. We've set them to cover our costs, but encourage you to add a charity donation to your order if you are able to. All money raised this way will go to help Covid-19-related charities in London and New York.
