The Society, in collaboration with the Music Copyright Society of China (MCSC) and the Macau Association of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (MACA), co-organised the first ‘Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Collective Management of Copyright in Musical Works Forum’ held in the SZRX Hotel on 8 June 2023.

The topics of the forum were ‘Music Creation, Collective Management of Copyright in Musical Works, and Development in Cultural Industries. There were three sessions with an opening speech, a MOU signing ceremony, and roundtable discussions. The event was attended by about 80 participants, including the senior government officials, and representatives of international organisation and societies in the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macau as well as prominent musicians, and legal, academic and industry representatives.

The successful hosting of the forum has brought closer cooperation among musical works collective management organisations in the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macau, further promoting development in cultural industries, and widening and deepening communications in the Greater Bay Area and even internationally.
