SoA Listening Session | World Listening Day
18 July @ 18:00 - 19:30 BST
This year, we’re hosting a series of in-person and online Listening Sessions to understand the biggest issues affecting our members. As we journey through our current five-year strategy period, 2025-2030, we want to ensure that we continue to listen to members’ needs.
The format for our Member Listening Sessions will involve a small group meeting for members to share the biggest issues affecting them as an author. These meetings will be structured to foster open communication and understanding among members on topics relevant to the business of authorship.
Programme
- 6pm – Listening session starts
- Discussion lead by SoA Chief Executive Anna Ganley and SoA Chief Operating Officer, Katharine King (90 mins)
- 7.30pm – session ends
