We typically recommend longer articles be around 500 words, though we handle submissions on a case-by-case basis. Articles should ideally be accompanied by good-quality images (at least 2-3 where possible). However, shorter pieces – such as member updates, event reports, or brief industry news – don’t need to meet this word count and can be more concise.

We are looking for:
·    Feature articles on innovation, research or technology
·    Updates from organisations and individuals
·    Reports from events or conferences
·    News about new team members, awards or partnerships
·    Stories from young professionals and global branches
