The 7th IPA Copyright Symposium closed this week in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). For two days more than 270 registered participants and global experts from 53 nations discussed copyright and publishing policy issues.
A crucial part of IPA's mission is to inform member associations and the wider global publishing community about breaking developments which will impact publishers. We do this through a number of channels. the IPA website, our monthly e-newsletter, press releases and the IPA's dedicated social media feeds.
The 7th IPA Copyright Symposium in Abu Dhabi will shift the attention of publishers worldwide to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). For two days more than 250 publishers and global experts will be discussing copyright policy issues.
