Register for the Pugpig Customer Summit 2025

Join us in London at this year’s Customer Summit for an afternoon packed with insights, ideas, and conversation. You’ll get the lowdown on our upcoming roadmap priorities and hear directly from some of the biggest names in media as they share how they’re driving engagement and getting the most out of their apps.

After the sessions wrap up, stick around for a drink (or two) and some food. It’s the perfect chance to catch up with other Pugpig publishers, swap tips with industry peers, and chat with the wider Pugpig team in a relaxed setting.

If you can’t make it to London, don’t worry – you’ll still be able to join the sessions remotely and be part of the conversation
