The story

CEPIC was founded in Berlin in 1993, where it still has its Head Office. In 1997, it received Observer Status at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). CEPIC was registered in Paris in 1999. In 2006 CEPIC became an associate member of International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC). Until 2009 CEPIC was known as the Coordination of European Picture Agencies. The change of the name to Centre of the Picture Industry is a result of the advancement to a more global orientation of the organisation.
