<h1>First Annual International Copyleft Conference</h1>
<h2>February&nbsp;4, 2019 in Brussels, Belgium</h2>
</div>

<div class="center-block" style="max-width: 50em;">
<p>This will be the very first annual International Copyleft Conference. Participants from throughout the
copyleft world — developers, strategists, enforcement organizations, scholars and critics — will be
welcomed for an in-depth, high bandwidth, and expert-level discussion about the day-to-day details of
using copyleft licensing, obstacles facing copyleft and the future of copyleft as a strategy to advance and
  defend software freedom for users and developers around the world.</p>

<p>Who’s organizing this? Software Freedom Conservancy is a not-for-profit charity that helps promote,
improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. Conservancy
provides a non-profit home and infrastructure for FLOSS projects. Conservancy is also the only
  organization currently working on enforcement of the GPL, the world’s most popular copyleft license.</p>

<p>This event will provide a friendly and safe place for discussion of all aspects of copyleft, including as a
key strategy for defending software freedom! Your sponsorship will help make this a sustainable annual
event, that can welcome students and scholars at a minimal cost. Any questions about financial, coffee
  break or in-kind sponsorship options should be directed to <a href="mailto:copyleftconf@sfconservancy.org">copyleftconf@sfconservancy.org</a>.</p>

<p><a href="/attend">Registration is now open</a>. Professional tickets are $100, and student/unemployed/underemployed tickets are available for $15.</p>
