Our 20th Annual Conference was held, for the first time, away from a major city, in Chantilly France. The agenda was forward-looking: Ian Florance predicted the market conditions that might develop while ETPG members Jacopo Tarantino, Jacques Gregoire and Robert McHenry suggested how publishing companies might react to these changes. This led to a rich discussion on activities ETPG might undertake – particularly in areas of PR and lobbying and the subject of copyright.
