GBO’s Jumpstart 2016 going to school on 2-3 August 2016

The event, which brings together experts from the publishing, media, education, digital and creative industries, would explore questions such as where do the content creators stand in this paradigm to learn about what do children like? How do they learn? How do we get better outcomes in education? How content creators nurture a democracy of opportunity within the system which recognises the inherent diversity among children? What can we do to encourage madly creative content that delights and educates?

Like every year, the event, which offers a platform for creators and disseminators, for experienced professionals to aspiring amateurs, will be held at two locations, Delhi and Bengaluru.

The two-day Delhi event has been scheduled for 2-3 August 2016 and the daylong event in Bangalore is on 6 August 2016.

The event will see participation of experts from Germany, Australia and Switzerland to look and compare, gain and exchange on the global paradigms.

The International Rights Director’s Meeting is a gathering of the who’s who of the international trade in rights and licenses. This year sees the 30th anniversary of an event, which has long since become an institution. As of 2016, the meeting will carry a new, modern name: the Frankfurt Rights Meeting. 

High profile speakers provide the roughly 200 participants, most of them rights managers and agents, with exclusive insights into the latest topics and trends in the publishing industry’s rights and licensing business, and into important markets of the future.
