All Party Parliamentary Group on Publishing Annual Reception

4 November 2009, Dining Room A, Palace of Westminster, from 7:00pm

With introductions from

John Whittingdale OBE MP, Chairman, Culture, Media and Sport Committee

Victoria Barnsley OBE, CEO and Publisher, HarperCollins UK & International

Simon Allen, Senior Vice President, McGraw-Hill Education and President of the Publishers Association

The forthcoming Digital Economy Bill, the Google Book Settlement and the Government’s Copyright Strategy have all made 2009 a particularly significant year for both the publishing industry and the wider creative sector.

Our annual reception will be an opportunity to hear from Parliamentarians and senior figures from publishing about the value this industry adds to the 21st century knowledge economy financially, culturally and socially, as well as the challenges it faces.

If you would like to attend, please contact Anita Desilva, adesilva@publishers.org.uk, by 23 October.
