Join us as we celebrate the official launch of the Authors Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the public interest by supporting authors who create in order to be read, seen, and heard.

The event will feature short talks by some of our founders and members of our advisory board. We will also announce our principles and proposals for copyright reform that would meaningfully advance the dissemination of knowledge and culture. Our schedule is as follows:

6:30: Welcome and cocktails

7:30: Brief presentations from founders Pamela Samuelson and Molly Van Houweling, and advisory board member Brewster Kahle. Talks will be moderated by Geoffrey Nunberg.

8:15: Reception

The launch will be webcast and recorded. Please visit http://www.ustream.tv/channel/internet-archive-presents at 7:15 Pacific to watch live.
