Summit Magazine
Summit goes digital
Digital vs Print
Summit magazine is available only digitally, not print, for the rest of 2024. Providing issues of Summit in digital-only format allows us to continue bringing our members great stories, resources, news and information straight to your devices. We recognise that some members may still prefer printed materials, and we are exploring options to meet that need, though no final decisions have been made.
Environmental Impacts
We are seeing a shift in content consumption habits and are focusing on improving our digital content delivery. Additionally, the environmental impact of large-scale paper use and printing does not align with our values of conservation and environmental responsibility.
Cost of Delivery
The cost of delivery has risen significantly, with increases in paper, printing, and postage, as well as other expenses related to delivering membership services. We are seeing a shift in content consumption habits and are focusing on improving our digital content delivery.
