This timely conference considered developments in the monetisation of digital content including latest thinking on trends, challenges and strategies - and options for policy and industry in developing fair and sustainable systems of value exchange.

Taking place in the context of the European Parliament vote to approve the proposed Copyright Directive, as well as further policy developments in the UK and internationally, sessions focused on the implications for platforms and publishers, and the future for value exchange and remuneration for creators and IP owners - as well as further options for intervention.

  • Developments in policy around copyright, data usage and protection;
  • Emerging collaborative models and the future of value exchange between online platforms and creators;
