2024 marks the hundredth anniversary of the coming into force of the Copyright Act. To celebrate this anniversary, ALAI Canada with the collaboration of the CDCE is bringing together experts in the field to express their views on the evolution of copyright law and, more importantly, on the challenges the future brings. While the challenges of the past have not yet been fully met, Canadian copyright law must now confront artificial intelligence in a world where inspiration can be drawn from everywhere. The conference aims to  provide an overview of current issues, bringing stakeholders together to discuss and reflect on the future.

The symposium will be in English and French. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided throughout the conference.
