PDLN 2026 Starts Well
PDLN is enjoying a productive start to 2026.
Bookings are healthy for the 2026 PDLN conference in Amsterdam from June 7-9th with delegates from Australia, Japan, Korea, most European countries and South Africa. Our hosts, Dutch member ArtikelPro, have arranged an excellent social welcome on the canals and at the beautiful canal side DPG offices in the south of the city.
The conference programme is now set and booking details and are on the conference site here. As well as the member briefings we have confirmed speakers from Microsoft, The Guardian, WAN-IFRA, NDP, MT Connect, Cloudfare, AMEC, FIBEP and Miso.ai.
Our new member only discussion groups are active. The AI group - run by OPR and Corint - is going well. The EuroHub group continues support the increasingly succesful licensing of press use by Google, MSN and others, and a new groups covering both our core MMO business and content protection (how to prevent illegal scraping of websites) have been established. See https://www.pdln.info/projects-topics (member only area). The discussion groups will share experience, learnings and a summary of resentations from their external speakers at the conference.
We welcome the challenges of ensuring press content is used responsibly under market friendly agreements.
