Communication
In addition to circulating information and ideas between CISAC member societies, CISAC communication promotes general awareness of authors’ societies and the principles of collective management through various communication tools and press relations. Whether it is helping member societies to communicate positive messages locally or speaking on their members’ behalf at an international level, CISAC communication aims to ensure that any discussion of copyright considers the perspectives of copyright societies and their author members.
CISAC’s Communication Committee was created over a decade ago in order to help define CISAC’s communication strategies as well as promote the exchange of communication techniques and projects among CISAC member societies.
The CISAC Communications Department also organizes the biennial World Creators Summit. The Summit is the world’s premier event for all stakeholders involved in the future of the creative industries. It brings together creators, rights organizations and guilds, policymakers, representatives of the entertainment and cultural sector, ISPs and content service providers, media and telecommunications operators, IT and hardware manufacturers, and legal experts to debate the future of copyright and the distribution of creative works in the digital era.
