WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. —

Art business and design industry issues — including legal, marketing and trend information — will be presented at the Surtex Conference Program, May 16-18, at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Featuring industry experts in their fields, the program's nine educational sessions will be categorized into three series: Licensing, Business and Trends.

The Licensing series will address the basics of art licensing and licensing agreements, while the Business and Trends series will provide in-depth looks at copyright infringement, successful art marketing, designing for multiple applications and lifestyle trends.

"The Surtex education program has earned the respect of the industry by providing essential, up-to-the-minute business, trend and copyright advice to the art and design sector," said Rita Malek, show manager.
