If you’ve ever been frightened by your employees’ lack of copyright awareness, come visit me and my CCC colleagues at the 2019 Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona October 27 – 30th.
CCC’s team of licensing professionals will be available throughout the show in Booth #614 to discuss your current copyright challenges and how CCC’s licensing solutions and educational resources can help alleviate your fears about sharing text and movies in the workplace.
The conference is a great opportunity to get the essential knowledge and legal insights you need to navigate an increasingly complex business environment and make meaningful connections with in-house counsel from around the globe.
It’s also the perfect time for us to connect with our valued customers, discuss how we can continue to support your compliance strategies, and help you better promote copyright awareness to those employees who might still be in the dark.
Test your copyright knowledge in our booth and receive a free gift and check out our top picks for program sessions to help provide more illumination about copyright.
