FUTURE ACTIONS
Being one of the main activities of this International Confederation to provide technical assistance to member Societies, we are currently in the continuous attention of technical and legal queries regarding the creation of authors' societies and collective management societies in all regions of the world.
Also, for all those CMOs that have been operating for years as such, it is our sincere and warmest intention to invite them to be part of this initiative as members and to participate with their Authors and technical teams in this new collective construction that signifies an International Audiovisual Confederation.
Global Recognition
Only in this way will we not only raise the technical and professional standards of all our societies but also jointly bring the unified voice of Audiovisual Authors and their banner for the defense of their rights and the fair remuneration and recognition of those rights globally to all corners of the world.
It must be taken into account that many of the authors and technical staff working on this project have been developing activities in favor of Author's rights and the establishment of new Audiovisual Societies for decades, as well as many of the lawyers of the participating societies are specialists in Author's rights with over thirty years of experience in this profession.
Here it is important to highlight again that AVACI is a project created by Audiovisual Authors to provide information and resources to Audiovisual Authors and is a non-governmental non-profit organization, which has the best professionals to achieve all its goals.
In fact, not only have we launched this historic initiative to create our own Confederation of Audiovisual Authors, which involves enormous work, involving Authors' societies from five continents, with nine official languages, but the intense work started by FESAAL has not ceased, providing technical and economic assistance to all emerging societies in Latin America, and also in Eurasia, Asia, and Africa.
Since its creation in 2021, AVACI has held an International Congress of Audiovisual Authors each year. Due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the first was held virtually, while in 2022 it was held in Seoul, South Korea. This massive event brought together Audiovisual Authors from all over the world and was attended by government authorities of the host country and representatives of the local press. It was a historic edition, being the first in-person meeting of an International Confederation of Audiovisual Authors gathered for the recognition of their authors' rights. The 2023 edition was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and repeated the success of the previous year, achieving a record turnout. The same is expected for our next meeting in Mexico City on November 5, 6, and 7, where the FESAAL General Assembly and the AVACI General Assembly will converge. On this occasion, action plans for the next period will be presented, emphasizing the necessary assistance for Societies in each region.
