We have been on many calls these past few weeks lining up interesting guests including prominent publishers from the UK and Europe as well as key technology developers. Be ready to mix with them at the Showcase, and for some high caliber discussions at the Stakeholder Forum. But we can always gather more amazing folks. A big thank you! the many PfP✨ Community Members who have helped connect us to speakers, sponsors, and participants across Europe. Please keep connecting! Share the PfP✨ London event landing page with anyone you think would contribute to the discussion. We appreciate you so much! 👏👏👏
