National Indexing Day 2024 took place on Thursday 28th March. We celebrated online with #indexday. In addition we hosted a half day in-person workshop for professionals in the publishing industry to help them improve their understanding of the indexing process. It was held at the Publishers Association in London and the session ran twice so that people can attend at a time that suits. Following a welcome from our honorary president, Sam Leith, a series of presentations by professional indexers covered the value of indexes, how best to work with an indexer and the advantages of indexing software used by indexers. There was also an interactive practical session for participants to try live indexing and time for questions and discussion.
