About the NPA Summit
The NPA Summit 2025 is a high-impact, hands-on gathering for mid-to-senior level professionals driving news product strategy and execution—whether or not “product” is in their title. For the first time, this previously virtual event becomes an immersive, in-person experience, purpose-built for news leaders working across editorial, audience, business, and technology. Far from a typical industry conference, the Summit offers a collaborative space to strengthen product expertise and tackle shared challenges.
This year’s sessions dive into real-world solutions and emerging trends—from scalable infrastructure and audience trust to post-platform innovation, AI applications, and sustainable revenue strategies—making it an unmissable opportunity to connect, grow, and lead in the evolving news product ecosystem.
