Creative Insight Series: Expand IP Beyond a Single Book

Discover how publishing houses turn ideas into lasting Intellectual Property (IP) and the ways IPs are managed smartly for monetization.

Join us for this invaluable opportunity to hear first hand from a prominent Singapore-based publisher, Trendlit Publlishing, to understand the current publishing landscape and uncover how books become franchises, series, and adaptations through smart rights management.

Through real-world case studies, you’ll see how creators and publishers build, protect, and monetise IP over time.

Whether you’re a writer, creator, or entrepreneur with a promising concept, this session will show you how to think like a publisher and grow your ideas beyond a single book — so if you have an idea you’re excited about, this is your invitation to learn how it could become something much bigger.
