The Copyright Society of Australia is excited to present the 21st Copyright Law & Practice Symposium, ‘COPYRIGHT N©W: The New Industrial Revolution’, on Tuesday 4 March 2025, with the support of Allens.

Copyright law is having a moment.  Around the world, leading courts, governments, industry professionals, practitioners and academics are wrestling with some of the biggest challenges to copyright law and practice in a generation.

As the trusted platform for thought leadership and debate on copyright law and practice in the region, the CSA has responded with a Symposium program featuring world class speakers and cutting-edge content, that will unpack the most critical issues facing industry, government, academia and the law today.

Join us on Tuesday 4 March 2025 for a full-day program in Sydney or via live stream, followed by the traditional Copyright Law & Practice Symposium Dinner.
