It was especially energizing to meet and reconnect with colleagues whose work spans India, the MENA region, Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe, and beyond. The issues we work on are increasingly global. Our conversations about them should be global too.

During a recent visit to London, Bournemouth, and Oxford, I had the pleasure of meeting with judges, barristers, solicitors, scholars, publishers, and other leaders across the IP and technology law ecosystem. I am grateful for generous conversations with colleagues.

Meaningful collaboration rarely happens by accident. It is built through sustained relationships, shared intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to connect people and institutions across borders.

Many thanks to everyone who made time for conversation, coffee, meals, and thoughtful exchange. I left with renewed appreciation for the value of international engagement and for the many ways law schools can serve as conveners in a rapidly changing world.
