Welcome to the Global Creative Legal Summit in Africa
In a world where African culture is shining brightly on the global stage through music, fashion, film, and art, it is crucial that our creative and legal ecosystems evolve in tandem. Over the last decade, the growth of entertainment and creative industry law has been significant, but it has lacked a coordinated approach.
The primary asset of the creative industry is intellectual property rights, making it essential to rapidly educate and spotlight the lawyers and creatives who protect and create these valuable assets. The Global Creative Legal Summit in Africa is dedicated to educating ecosystem lawyers and creatives on the principles of creative industry law.
This summit aims to equip legal professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate both local and global creative markets effectively. At the same time, creatives will gain crucial insights into the legal fundamentals of their industry, empowering them to protect their work and thrive in a competitive landscape.
By attending, you will contribute to the rapid development of policies for the African creative industry and help create new models that address the unique challenges of our multipolar world.
