The 5th edition of the Asian Media Leaders Summit (AMLS), combined with the WAN-IFRA conference for the entire Asia Pacific region including South Asia and the Middle East, will be held in Singapore on 5-6 November 2025.
The event will feature speakers from all over the world to bring a unique and effective learning and networking experience in one place.
Two Intense Summits
It’s a packed and intense two summits in one conference – featuring a Leaders Summit as well as an Editors Summit – with 17 sessions and about 35 global speakers.
The Leaders Summit, targeting CEOs, publishers, media owners, revenue leaders, and those aspiring to leadership positions will provide ideas, business models, and solutions for all those invested in building sustainable news organisations.
The Editors Summit, tailormade for newsroom heads and future chiefs, and journalists who want to revolutionise news coverage and their newsroom operations, offers perspectives and debates to challenge and inspire.
Challenging Times for News Media Companies
Globally, the news media industry continues to face layoffs, closures, and other cuts along with rising costs, falling advertising revenue, sharp declines in traffic from social media, and adding to these challenges, a fall in search traffic as AI overviews proliferate.
Attendees who spend the two days in Singapore can learn a great deal from business and newsroom leaders who have successfully navigated the turbulent times by sharing their winning strategies for these uncertain times.
During the conference, participants can expect to hear about and participate in discussions on several key topics including how to plan, manage, navigate, and thrive in today’s uncertain world; entrepreneurial and innovative thinking to grow business; how to drive profits by increasing trust in media; the impact of independent content creators; strategies to transform media business; AI updates, strategies, and forecasts; leadership fundamentals in a challenging industry; innovation in news media; and trends and predictions for 2026 and beyond.
