Careers Conference 2006

SYP Events are the best way to meet professionals in the industry and hear what they have to say.

Subjects have included children's publishing, magazines, debut and best-selling authors, distribution, publicity and marketing, seasonal publishing. The list goes on...

SYP Events are a great opporunity not just to learn about wider aspects of publishing, but to meet the people in it. With members attending from across the publishing spectrum, from companies large and small, there's no better place to get acquainted with your industry peers. Get to know people. Get yourself known. Have fun!

If there is any kind of event you'd like to see us run, or any particular topics you'd like us to cover, please do drop us a line using our contact page.
