outing together targeted events for both these important groups for the
first time and hope that you find it of interest
as well. If so, please email us on what you think of such events and

existing gaps in niche networking opportunities.

Is Big always beautiful? Review your rights strategy in times of change!

Are large markets
always the most productive and smaller ones just a hassle? Rights
departments often tend to concentrate on approaching the big book
markets, expecting correspondingly
large revenues for the company and the authors. This year’s Rights
Directors Meeting will look at China as a market giant and check
perspectives and risks. A number of smaller markets will be evaluated
for their perspectives as well, including digital. Be
prepared for some surprise stories – some from where you least expected
them.
