We are preparing material for the 2016 Newsagency of the Future series. This workshop will be completely fresh content, focused on the back half of 2016 and beyond. It will take into account trends in product channels in which we operate today, opportunities in new channels and structural changes newsagents can make to leverage the opportunities of change.
Whereas in the past I have used these sessions to get the attention of newsagents about changes coming, this session assumes everyone is aware of change because of what they are experiencing in their businesses. It looks to the future.
We see wonderful opportunities ahead as we disrupt our own businesses, breaking with tradition and not allowing our thinking to be constrained by a shingle of a bygone era.
We will share real data from newsagency businesses achieving double digit growth and explore with those attending how they are achieving this.
There will be opportunity for discussion around specifics as well as big-picture strategies.

We appreciate some people outside capital cities might like me to do more regional sessions. This is challenging with my work and travel schedule for the Tower Systems and newsXpress businesses.
With the help of the video production team at Tower we will film a version of the session in the studio and make this available to all newsagents. We will do this after Hobart so we can address common questions asked through the sessions.
