Washington Copyright Summit announced

Today, CISAC (the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers) announced the second World Copyright Summit. Robin Gibb, who is president of CISAC, will host and speak at the event held this June 9-10 in Washington, D.C. and of which he says it "will ensure that creativity is recognised as a vital part of the economic, cultural and social landscape.” He adds that “The voices of creators are seldom heard on copyright issues in the digital age and that’s what makes the World Copyright Summit a unique event."

World-Renowned Creators and Key Industry Leaders are expected to convene at the summit which will provide a forum for influential creators, rights organizations and guilds, content service providers, broadcasters, telecommunications operators, hardware manufacturers, legal experts and policy-makers to exchange ideas, to debate diverse viewpoints and to discuss issues linked to intellectual property and creative content.

The inaugural World Copyright Summit, held in Brussels in 2007, drew over 550 delegates from 263 companies and 55 countries. The 2009 World Copyright Summit is expected to attract a similar audience.
