Annual General Meeting 2024
On Wednesday 8 May, the Publishers Association’s Annual General Meeting took place at the British Library. It was an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on our achievements in 2023.
Publishing brings ideas and stories to life.
We produce trusted information. We connect creators and audiences. We invest in people and ideas. And we underpin the global knowledge economy.
At a time when the pandemic has driven us apart and society has become more polarised, we help people create moments of true connection – sharing what they love, debating ideas and celebrating the voices that mean most to them.
We build relationships of trust with government and key partners.
We ensure our members are informed and can effectively respond.
We provide every member with services that aid their long-term interests.
The UK’s publishing industry is truly world leading. Publishing contributes an extraordinary £11 billion overall to the economy and the industry exports more books than any other country globally, which is a phenomenal cultural achievement for the UK.
Research Impact focuses on three short videos about engaging and impactful scientific research developed in the UK and disseminated by publishers. The aim of the campaign is to champion the UK’s scientific output, showcasing why it is one of the best places in the world to conduct academic research, and demonstrating how this benefits the public.
