Our fourth annual Here symposium takes place in the summer and in the run-up to the event we’ll be looking at some of the stellar speakers who’ve graced the stage in previous years. Here is all about insight and inspiration, through accessible and enlightening talks from an international array of artists and designers, from big names to cutting-edge practitioners. Over the next few weeks the It’s Nice That team will be flagging up some of their favourite talks from the past three years, and next up is James Cartwright singing the praises of Penny Martin…

Looking at The Gentlewoman it’s easy to feel intimidated by the publication; the content, contributors, production values and sales figures are all extremely impressive, and the team behind it already have pedigree when it comes to magazine publishing. But hearing Penny Martin speak at Here 2014 gave a human face to what appears from the outside to be a beast of a venture. She was open and honest about all aspects of the publication, from its evolution over the course of ten issues to the difficulties of dealing with celebrities’ press teams.

Here 2015 takes place on Friday 12 June and the confirmed speakers are digital guru Iain Tait, artist and designer Scott King, SHOWstudio editor Lou Stoppard, photographic duo Blommers Schumm, karlssonwilker’s Hjalti Karlsson and ManvsMachine founder Mike Alderson.

We’ll also be welcoming set designer Anna Lomax, illustrator Jordy van den Nieuwendijk, graphic designer Charlotte Heal and Nathan Cowen and Jacob Klein, the brains behind Haw-lin.
