NEW RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CREATIVE COMMUNITIES AND CONSUMERS, PARIS, JUNE 19-20, 2006

TACD held this conference to bring people together to examine relations between creators and users, seeking to identify common interests and new opportunities to collaborate. Discussions explored new and existing social and business models for the intermediary between the creative person and the consumer.

The focus of the meeting was a Paris Accord, a draft document outlining a potential new set of relations between creative individuals and communities, consumers and citizens. More details about, and the text of, this Accord can be found at www.cptech.org/a2k/pa/
