Since its launch in 2023, PLS’ annual conference has become an important fixture in the UK publishing calendar. Catered to publishing professionals of all backgrounds, the conference offers attendees excellent networking opportunities and valuable insight from world-leading publishing and rights experts. Whether you're seeking to deepen your understanding of copyright fundamentals or want to keep up to date with the latest licensing and policy developments, the conference has something for everyone. 

This year, PLS welcomes renowned rights experts Lynette Owen and Diane Spivey, who will be hosting an extended morning session for learners and early career rights professionals.  

PLS' two licensing agents, the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) and NLA Media Access, will lead sessions on the effective licensing and technology solutions their respective organisations can offer to publishers. James Bennett, Head of Rightsholder Relations at the CLA, will update attendees on the latest CLA revenue trends and new initiatives in AI licensing. Meanwhile, Grace Leaper, Publishing Operations Manager at NLA, will examine the different strategies publishers can employ to better protect and commercialise their intellectual property in the digital age. 

Our exhibitors represent a diverse array of interests within the publishing industry, and will include the Independent Publishers Guild (IPG), the Professional Publishers Association (PPA), the Publishers Association, Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), ISNI, EDItEUR, Book Industry Communication (BIC), RightsZone, the Stationers’ Company, CLA, and NLA.

PLS encourages anyone with an interest in copyright, rights, and licensing to join us at 1 Wimpole Street, London on Thursday 3rd July. Please stay tuned for future announcements on exhibitor organisations, speakers, and session topics.
