What is Mag To Mag

Mag To Mag is the event where the world of independent magazines connects. Talk, share, find new tools, new paths and possibilities, join forces and realize its beauty.

The zero edition responds to a great need: to collect the thousands of energies, ideas, turbulences that gravitate in this small niche of paper lovers and create new synergies, amplifying the sound of paper and the clean noise it can make.

Mag To Mag was created to exchange opinions and views, get to know each other, but above all to give the independent magazine sector practical and concrete tools to grow and become a reality that manages to go beyond its insecurities and divisions, overcoming the shell of its small niche.
