This year the focus is on participation and knowledge-sharing with built-in Q&A time, Regional Roundtable Discussion Groups and eIFL-IP’s first unconference. Broad themes are Copyright and Access to Digital Content, Copyright and Digitisation, Libraries and Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs), International copyright policy - exceptions and limitations, National copyright law and advocacy.

The keynote presentation is from Becky Hogge, former Executive Director of the Open Rights Group, a UK-based grassroots civil liberties and consumer rights advocacy organisation, who will give a tour of copyright activism around the world, taking in recent developments in Canada and Brazil, as well as efforts in the UK and Europe. Other international speakers will contribute their expertise to what promises to be an informative and fun event!
