Lots of announcements to make regarding our Copyright and Technology London 2013 conference coming up on October 17.

First I am very pleased to announce our keynote speaker: Richard Hooper CBE, the media and telecommunications industry veteran whom the UK Intellectual Property Office commissioned to carry out the recent study that led to the recommendation for a Digital Copyright Exchange.

Secondly, conference registration is now open with early bird pricing through the end of summer.

Thirdly, sponsorships are still available.  Please email me if you would like to receive a sponsorship prospectus and explore the possibility of joining MarkMonitor, Reed Smith, and Civolution as sponsors.  If you are a trade association or other membership organization, we can offer registration discounts to your members if you become a media sponsor and help publicize the event.

Finally, we have several openings left for speakers and moderators.  Please take a look at the agenda and consider sending a proposal.  Please email it with the following information:

• Speaker’s name and full contact information
• Panel requested
• Moderator or speaker request?
• Description of speaker’s experience or point of view on the panel subject
