CBC/Radio-Canada
Following on the success of last year's Town Hall forum, the industry's top power brokers will once again converge for an hour-long interactive strategy session on how to improve the funding system in Canada. This open-ended forum hinges on audience participation, and so provides delegates with a rare opportunity to air their gripes and offer fresh insights and outside-the-box suggestions directly to industry leaders in an casual setting. The objective is to consolidate current thinking and develop directives for improving the system.
Your feedback could have a direct affect on future policy and business practices. Discussion points; •The CTF on the ground: What needs fixing? What doesn't? •Down the Road: Rights slippage •How can agencies coordinate to reduce duplication? •That final 25%: Closing the gap •Convergence and fragmentation: The ever-leaner licence fee dilemma
