Registration is now open for University of Illinois Chicago School of Law’s 65th Annual #IntellectualPropertyLaw Conference, to be held virtually on Thursday and Friday, November 4–5, 2021.
https://lnkd.in/d6aFSgtC

Modeled after the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in #Davos and Emily C. and John E. Hansen IP Institute at Fordham Law School Annual Fordham #IP Conference in New York, the conference features highly interactive sessions with newsmakers in the IP, privacy and technology communities. In addition, the conference features 16 sessions with more than 90 expert faculty from government, civil society organizations, companies, law firms and academia.

This year’s conference expands on the success of last year’s virtual setting to offer two full days of interactive discussions involving the audience and virtual networking opportunities with speakers. In addition, the conference’s virtual platform provides attendees the same seamless transition between sessions for which the conference has long been known.

Our program is unique in combining forward-thinking IP legal and innovation issues from across the spectrum with an immersive format where newsmakers in intellectual property, technology and privacy engage in a moderated discussion with each other and with the audience. At a time when conferences may consist of little more than timed speeches and where attendees sit behind a screen as passive viewers, ours stands apart.

Honored to be recognized alongside colleagues from across the Nation as a senior scholar at George Mason University’s Center for #intellectualproperty and #innovation Policy. As a former Edison Fellow, I have seen up close and been impressed by the Center’s achievements, its leadership, and those, past and present, who work there. Looking forward to this new opportunity to partner together.

Thank you, IAPP – International Association of Privacy Professionals for recognizing our privacy and technology program, just one of thirty-six institutions worldwide to receive this honor in its 2021 guide to “Privacy And Data Protection In Academia.”

As the guide notes, our programs include #JurisDoctor, #Privacy and #Technology Law, #IP, #International #Business and #Trade, #Computer #Science, #Communication, #HealthInformationManagement, and #Information and #DecisionSciences, and cover offerings across #law, #computerscience, and #business.
