Welcome to CITMA’s 2017 Autumn Conference which returns to Birmingham for an eighth consecutive year.

We have once again secured an exciting range of speakers who will provide you with a comprehensive education on the interaction of social media and intellectual property law. We will also introduce the tools available to practitioners in this context.

This event is now sold out, please contact jane@citma.org.uk to be added to the waiting list.

The morning session will include a walk-through of the practical steps involved in having infringing content removed from social media platforms, an introduction to the technology that can be used to monitor infringement, tips on how to use social media to find evidence of infringement, and a review of recent CJEU copyright case law in relation to hyperlinking.

Presentations after lunch include a view from the marketing industry, a guide to the law on "memes" and other user generated content, and reviews of the impact of social media on IP valuation and advertising.

The event will be followed by a drinks reception to allow for discussions and networking to continue.
