Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth, Stephen Lashley, who will give the opening address at the event, is encouraging wide participation, on what he described as "a continuation of the ongoing dialogue on proposed legislation that will create a much needed foundation upon which the emerging cultural industries sector can be propelled".
Stating that this critical piece of legislation will help with the overall development of the sector and Barbados in general, he added, "I’m issuing a special invitation to all those who are unfamiliar with the process, as it provides another opportunity to learn and actively participate."??
