Commercial Opportunities for Cultural Heritage Organisations
The Business Archives Council and Business Archives Council Scotland are pleased to present the next Business Bites event. We invite anyone with an interest in Business Archives to this informal event where current challenges, successes and ideas are shared at a lunchtime meeting.
Business Bites is an initiative by BACS to encourage face to face conversations, bringing together the small community of business archivists and custodians of business archives in Scotland, many of whom work alone, to share our experiences. Regular social meet ups will be held every few months, with a rotating theme to kick start conversations and allow you to meet your peers. Anything and everything business archives will be openly discussed among friends.
This event is for BAC and BACS members only. For more information on joining, please see BAC and BACS
The theme of this event is – Commercial Opportunities for Cultural Heritage Organisations
Where: Online – via Zoom
When: 25/09/2024 12.30 – 13.30
What: The creative industries generate approximately £24 billion pounds worth of value to the UK economy. A substantial component of this will be the identification, management and optimisation of associated Intellectual Property (IP), such as copyright and trade marks.
As a major player in the UK’s creative industries, there are important commercial opportunities for cultural heritage organisations to explore in terms of how they might leverage their IP particularly through commercial licensing. However, the development and implementation of a commercial licensing strategy is not a magic bullet and will involve careful planning and investment.
This webinar will introduce the concept of the building blocks required for developing a successful commercial licensing strategy. Focussing on examples, it will examine the dimensions that need to be explored as part of the planning process to ensure the greatest likely return on investment.
Our speaker will be Naomi Korn – Founder and CEO of Naomi Korn Associates
