It will be a venue to galvanize discussions on education, copyright promotion, protection, and fair use, the shift from print to the modern digital age, and on how the publishing industry can continuously produce quality learning materials and making it accessible to the general public to adopt under the new normal. The Forum will gather international and local professionals in the literary and publishing industry, government officials, award-winning authors/writers and illustrators, and experts in the fields of Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) and library system who will share their extensive experiences and exchange their best practices, expert opinions and perspectives for the creative community and the general public to better understand the ecology and the changing dynamics of this sector.
The Forum aims to forge new collaborations amongst the various stakeholders in the government, private sector, non-profit, and most especially the publishing community to do this towards sustainable programs and projects, relevant policies, positive vision, and ways to move forward for the creative industry as a whole.
