Tim Duggan, Rebecca Costello and Nicholas Gray to feature at Mumbrella Publish

The 2025 Mumbrella Publish conference will feature industry heavyweights Tim Duggan (Digital Publishers Alliance), Rebecca Costello (the Guardian Australia) and Nicholas Gray (News Corp Australia), taking to the stage on October 28 in Sydney to pull back the curtain on an industry in upheaval.

The trio are the first announced speakers at Publish, which Mumbrella has brought back after a two-year hiatus. As well as hearing direct from key publishing figures, the conference will feature round table discussions where attendees can hash out crucial issues like copyright in the age of AI, and the next era of revenue.

“Throughout Mumbrella’s history, we’ve seen ourselves as part of the publishing community,” Mumbrella publisher Tim Burrowes said.

“We’re thrilled to announce our first speakers for the return of the Publish conference. Our biggest challenge is to do justice to the unprecedented mixture of problems and opportunities publishers currently face.
