Presenter Agreement

Hiring Presenters and Publishing Presentations is all in a days work for an Organizer.

In the past, conference and seminar organizers published hard copy presentation hand-outs. This was usually considered "fair use" by the presenter as only the live delegates received the copy of the presentation and unauthorized distribution of the presentation was rare.

Nowadays, many organizers digitally publish, distribute and even sell the presenters presentations online in the form of powerpoint downloads, audio podcasts and video webcasts.

The Copyright problem exists because presentations delivered by Presenters at your live events are Copyrighted works, owned by the Presenters or their Employers (Copyright Owners).

Whilst digital publishing makes it easier to distribute and sell presentations, copying and publishing presentations without the Copyright Owners permission, is illegal.

Failure to respect the legal rights of the Copyright Owners leads to Copyright Infringement under copyright legislation.

Copyright infringement is best avoided by having PERMISSION from the COPYRIGHT OWNER to distribute, publish or sell copyrighted presentations, webcasts and podcasts.

Presenter Agreements give you PERMISSION from the Copyright Owner to distribute, publish or sell content and protect organizers from copyright infringement.

Presenter Agreements are the key to protecting your business from Copyright Infringement when hiring Presenters and Publishing Presentations.
