Licensing small extracts of content for reuse on a case-by-case basis is time-consuming, but specialist content publishers need to ensure that their trusted content isn’t repurposed without fair compensation. The solution? Collective licensing.

Join us on Tuesday 28 November (12:30-1:30pm) for this PPA decode webinar, in partnership with Publishers’ Licensing Services (PLS), where our expert speakers will walk you through:

What collective licensing is and how it protects and values your copyright
The revenue collective licensing affords you, where it comes from, and how as a result you can forecast and sustain your bottom-line revenue
Actionable steps you can take to ensure you’re making the most out of collective licensing
The impact and opportunities of collective licensing in relation to the rise of generative AI

This webinar has been created with senior management teams in mind, particularly those responsible for revenue, syndication, licensing, or editorial.
