The IPEd Conference is the premier conference for editors in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
For more than 20 years, editors have gathered to hear from some of the industry’s leading voices, to share innovative research and discuss a range of ideas and topics.
The conferences have promoted contact among editors, increased research and development in the profession and provided opportunities for collaboration.
In 2025 we continue this work at the 12th IPEd Conference.
Join your colleagues and learn, connect and contribute. Be encouraged and inspired by speakers, develop your skills in workshops and build valuable connections. Whether you work as an editor, or in communications, publishing, academia, or any industry with an interest in how we communicate, the IPEd Conference is for you.
“Editors as changemakers”
The theme of the 12th IPEd Conference is “Editors as changemakers”.
Editors are innovators, leaders, creators and reformers who constantly work to evolve how we use language. From accessibility to navigating the challenges of AI, editors are at the forefront of important conversations around how we communicate in education, government, business, culture and community.
The IPEd conference will deliver opportunities to learn and connect via keynote addresses, papers, panel sessions, interviews and workshops.
Stay tuned for more details!

What happened in 2023?
The 11th IPEd Editors Conference was held online from 2 to 9 May 2023.
The 2023 conference theme was “Futureproofing the Editing Profession”. Like most occupations, the editing profession is evolving and shifting in the face of new technologies, changing client expectations and fresh opportunities.
The conference looked at the challenges and opportunities facing freelance and in-house editors, and ways to help futureproof the editing profession.
The program was centred around four streams related to futureproofing:
- vital skills to futureproof your editing practice
- publishing, and micro-credentials for editing
- publishing and information design
- editing in the digital age and other digital practices
