Last week, from September 30 to October 3, 2024, the international copyright community gathered in Quebec City for the 40th IFRRO World Congress. Participants were enchanted by the city, aided by magnificent weather and our legendary hospitality. Thanks to near-perfect coordination, orchestrated by our General Manager Christian Laforce and the Copibec team, rumour has it that we experienced a very special moment in the history of this organization.
I’d like to warmly thank Camille Tougas, Nicolas Boudreault, Maryse Beaulieu and Arezki Raab for all their hard work. Each of them, in his or her own field of expertise, contributed to introducing our organization to the 150 participants. We have received a great deal of praise for the clarity and richness of our website, which seems to have aroused a great deal of interest. I would also like to thank all our employees who worked hard to ensure the success of this international event. The presence of two members of the Board of Directors, Patrick Bourbeau and Simon de Jocas, and that of Gilles Herman, was much appreciated by the team members in place. But above all, we owe this collective success to Christian, our project manager, who truly exceeded all expectations. Thank you, dear Director.
Lise Létourneau, President of Copibec
