Expansion of Regional Meetings:

In 2025, we are expanding our outreach with several regional Family Owners' Meetings. The goal of these meetings is to enhance accessibility at lower costs and provide sustainable solutions for small-market and rural publishers. The Annual Family Owners Meeting at the Broadmoor in November will maintain the same structure as in previous years.

We look forward to your participation in these important events throughout 2025.
