Sustaining and Empowering the Creative Community Through Copyright (World IP Day)

Join The Copyright Alliance—along with numerous co-host organizations and partners like CBCA’s Colorado Attorneys for the Arts—for a virtual panel titled Sustaining and Empowering the Creative Community Through Copyright. This panel is in keeping with the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) 2024 theme, “IP and the SDGs: Building Our Common Future with Innovation and Creativity.”

During the event, we will discuss how creators can meet their goals today while helping to ensure that tomorrow’s creative community is sustained through job growth, a strong creative economy, and continued growth of the arts, all of which are perpetuated through copyright protections. The event is free and open to the public.
