e-Crime Wales: Creative Industries Workshop
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Today e-Crime Wales announced a half-day Creative Industries Workshop in advance of the e-Crime Wales Summit, which this year takes place on 21 October 2009 in Llandudno.
This half day e-Security Workshop - Lock it down or give it away? - is a first in Wales and aims to open up a bigger discussion around the creation and protection of Digital Content by companies and individual creators working in Wales’ Creative Industries - an area that is very topically and generating a lot of media attention. In fact, only today Lilly Allen add her contribution to the debate on illegal music download, which up to now has been lead by the Featured Artists Coalition.
Speakers for the Creative Industries Workshop are drawn from the fields of Digital Security, Content Management, Broadcast commissioning and Independent Music and will offer their views on the ongoing evolution of Digital Content, tracking media assets, copyright and online sales and distribution. Key findings from a new report on Digitally Networked Businesses (one of the topics I’ve been featuring in this blog) will be shared during the Workshop.

If you’re involved in the Creative Industries this workshop is bound to offer some thought provoking views and hopefully encourage Welsh business to think seriously about their IP and how to maximise the value of their work. Let’s hope a similar event is also organised for South Wales, as I doubt few companies based in this part of the country will make the four hour trip north.
