Creative rights in an AI world
Yes. No. Takedown.
The three controls every creator needs in the age of derivative AI.
Join us on October 21st, 2026, 11:30 am–1:00 pm, for a candid working lunch on consent, refusal, and the takedown decisions impacting the creator’s rights in the complex arena of AI.
An invitation-only, 90-minute luncheon seminar for creators, estates, agents, entertainment and IP lawyers, and the people who steward creative work.
Grounded in the three things that matter — consent, attribution, and compensation — we’ll share how to engage AI on the creator’s terms: the yes worth signing, the no that holds after signing, and the takedown when nobody asked.
You’ll leave with more than talking points: working awareness of where derivative AI touches you or your client’s work, insight from the deals being signed, best practices for consent-first terms, and take-home tools you can actually use.
The terms for creative work in AI are being set right now. This is where you learn to set yours.
