A journey through history

The first conference, held under the name “International Rights Directors Meeting”, took place at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in 1987. Rights experts from 26 countries attended the debut event. In its early years, The Börsenblatt described the industry event as the “Small United Nations of Rights Directors”.

A lot has changed since then, and the Frankfurt Rights Meeting is now the leading conference for rights and licensing professionals from all over the world.

At the Frankfurt Rights Meeting you will meet ...

  • Licensing managers
  • Rights managers
