Delighted to join friends and supporters of the Institute of Intellectual Property and Social Justice at its 20th Annual #IP and #socialjustice CLE Seminar and 5th Annual #HBCU #Tech #Law Summit in Washington, DC.

The IP and Social Justice CLE program provides annual updates in IP law, a panel of sitting federal judges, and discussions of IP, diversity, and social justice concerns. I look forward to moderating the corporate counsel panel on ‘Leading with IP and Adding Value to Corporations.’ Joining me on the panel are Andrew Cooper (Meta), Claire Wheeler Desmond (Under Armour), Izu Emeagwali (J.P. Morgan), Yen Florczak (3M), and Ankur Shah (Freddie Mac).

The HBCU Tech Law Summit aims to educate minority legal professionals on the issues and opportunities in the tech industry in an effort to help infuse the legal workforce with a diverse pipeline to ensure fair, transparent and accountable development of AI as a service and other new technologies that empower everyone.
