[SG] AI and the Evolving Role of Publishers

How is AI reshaping the role of publishers beyond content creation? As data becomes just as valuable as storytelling, the industry is facing a fundamental shift. Join us for an insightful panel discussion: “AI and the Evolving Role of Publishers: From Content Creators to Data Stewards.”

Date: Tuesday, 21st April 2026
Time: 3.00pm to 5.30pm, SGT
Venue:  the Hive, Tangjong Pagar, Singapore

Our expert panel will move beyond the buzzwords to explore the real transformations already underway, including:

  • From Content to Data: How publishers are leveraging audience data, insights, and AI-driven analytics to inform strategy and drive value.

  • Ownership & Responsibility: Navigating the challenges of data governance, privacy, and ethical data use in an AI-powered ecosystem.

  • New Revenue Models: Understanding how AI is unlocking new monetisation opportunities—and what that means for traditional publishing models.

  • Redefining Editorial Roles: How journalists, editors, and content teams are adapting as AI becomes embedded in workflows.

This isn’t just about technology—it’s about the future identity of publishers. Whether you’re shaping content, strategy, or audience engagement, this session will provide practical perspectives on how to evolve with confidence.
