Organization of Thematic Events
Organization of thematic events: creating spaces for dialogue, expertise & action
Intellectual property challenges, counterfeiting risks, digital piracy, product safety concerns, and illicit trade affect industries differently and require solutions adapted to each sector and regional reality.
ACTA-GM develops and supports thematic events designed to bring together rights holders, public authorities, experts, institutions, universities, operational stakeholders, and targeted audiences around concrete intellectual property and anti-counterfeiting issues.
Our objective is not simply to organize events but to create meaningful platforms for dialogue, knowledge-sharing, awareness, and operational cooperation, helping stakeholders better understand challenges, exchange experiences, identify practical solutions, and strengthen long-term collaboration.
Whether organized at a national, regional, or international level, ACTA-GM events are designed to respond to real market needs and evolving risks.
Why thematic events matter
Today, intellectual property and anti-counterfeiting challenges are evolving rapidly.
The rise of digital commerce, social media sales, counterfeit medicines, dangerous cosmetics, fake automotive parts, IPTV piracy, and illicit digital content requires stronger cooperation, increased awareness, and practical discussions adapted to operational realities.
Thematic events provide an opportunity to:
- encourage public-private dialogue;
- share expertise and best practices;
- better understand sector-specific risks;
- strengthen cooperation with authorities and institutions;
- raise awareness among targeted audiences;
- support prevention and enforcement efforts;
- foster regional and international collaboration.
ACTA-GM believes that bringing the right stakeholders together is one of the strongest drivers of sustainable impact.
