Our previous corporate art conferences in London & Paris have demonstrated to various industry sectors the benefits of corporate investment in national and local community art, as a vehicle for marketing communications, in what is becoming a highly charged stakeholder society. The conference will cover themes such as integration of art into corporate strategy, the practical issues of building and managing art collections and an examination of the legal and tax incentives as well as insurance, applicable to the North American market. We also intend to address the shareholders' and employees' reactions to their company being involved in art, and to research more practical matters such as budgeting and planning for a corporate art collection. Speakers will be invited to provide as many visuals and case studies as possible. I am presently researching the topic with a view to identifying well-qualified speakers on the subject, and assess who would be prepared to participate in the conference as a speaker, delegate or sponsor. If this message falls within the remit of another of your colleagues I would be very grateful if you could forward this message to them. I would welcome your thoughts for the conference and look forward to hearing from you shortly.
