2. To inform and generate debate among professionals working within the industry.
3. To inspire and encourage students and young professionals entering the field.
4. To network - to bring people together and allow members access to a wide range of different editorial skills, resources and experiences. To have fun and great parties.

Hoping to have our first event on 22nd November. Leading editorial designers in debate. We may try to use the new lecture theatre at the London College of Fashion. Has anyone been there?
