Join Journalism.co.uk, Connectopia, and our partners Tickaroo and Marfeel for a relaxed evening of connection and conversation at our friendly meet-up during the International Journalism Festival in Perugia. We're creating a welcoming space where journalists and technology professionals can chat, share perspectives, and explore collaborations —all while enjoying a drink and bruschettas courtesy of Tickaroo and Marfeel.

Who are we and why are we in Perugia?

Journalism.co.uk is a UK-based independent media company providing publishing industry coverage since 1999 and Connectopia is a tech consultancy founded in 2023, dedicated to bridging the gap between tech and publishing. We have joined forces with Tickaroo, whose popular live blogging software serves over 72,000 journalists worldwide and Marfeel, a market-leading content intelligence platform that empowers publishers with real-time insights to optimise their content strategies.

We're here quite simply because we believe great journalism needs to be underpinned by great innovation, and what better way to get people talking than an aperitivo at the world's greatest journalism event.

What to expect?

No formal presentations, no decks, no fireside chats —just a friendly environment for authentic conversations between media professionals and technologists.

So, whether you're curious about innovative tools or looking to understand media needs better, you'll find all the connections you need right here.

The event is free to attend, but registration is required via the online form.

Venue: Il Birraio, Via delle Prome 18, Perugia.

See you there.
