M&P CONFERENCE 2025

The Bookseller’s Marketing & Publicity conference, fondly known as M&P, is an essential day for all marketing and publicity professionals working across the book trade. Featuring panels, case studies, keynotes and surgeries; each year the programme centres on a new theme at the heart of the publishing industry.

Last year’s conference focused on our ability to think and respond with creativity; the nurturing and growth of our professional and reader community; nurturing long-term thinking, agile use of existing resource, and relationship-building that goes far beyond individual campaigns.

Previous attendees include Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Hachette, HarperCollins, Pan Macmillan, Canongate, Bonnier Books UK, Nielsen BookData, Spotify, Waterstones, Women’s Prize Trust, Faber, Dark Matter, Usborne, Thames & Hudson, Hay Festivals, The Flip, Yale University Press, Booksellers Association, Wiley, British Library, Edinburgh International Book Festival and Quarto.
