Our Managing Partner, Nikolina Vujinović, participated in the SCAPR (Societies’ Council for the Collective Management of Performers’ Rights) Working Groups session in Milan, as part of a four-day event that gathered experts from the entire audiovisual sector.

Over 120 participants from more than 35 countries came together for four days of collaboration and strategic discussions at the Milan Working Groups Session. 12 meetings took place, involving participants from different fields who discussed the distinct challenges encountered by CMOs representing audiovisual performers, as well as SCAPR’s work: the aim was to ensure that the organization effectively met the needs of audiovisual performers.

Nikolina Vujinović participated in the legal working group, where she tackled essential issues that will influence the future of collective management alongside expert colleagues from various legal ecosystems. The legal working group focused its session on examining the effects of artificial intelligence on how performers’ rights are managed. Furthermore, the group focussed on data protection by assisting SCAPR members implement secure and compliant practices in their dealings with other CMOs worldwide.

On another note, Vujinović has been an engaged member of the body in charge of regulations within SCAPR for several years. This organization functions as an international platform based in Brussels that aims to improve cross-border data exchange, performers’ rights enforcement and remuneration.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to SCAPR for this invitation and to all colleagues for fostering global collaboration and supporting performers worldwide. It was a pleasure to be in Milan this year.
