The next day, the 29th of February, the Future Media Lab., will take place. Max von Abendroth, chief executive director of EMMA, explains the concept: “This is a think tank initiative where magazine publishers and relevant stakeholders will debate the future of the magazine media to draw conclusions for the appropriate European legislative framework regarding press-freedom, data-protection, copyright, VAT, advertising and many more. At the core of this activity is of course the research.”

The European Magazine Media Association represents 15.000 magazine publishers across Europe, publishing 50.000 consumer and B2B magazine titles, reaching 360 million European readers.
