November 4 & 5 | Annual Conference Session Descriptions Now Available!

I'm pleased to announce that the session descriptions for our 65th Annual IP Conference are now available: https://ipconference.law.uic.edu/schedule-2/ Modeled after the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos and the 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 sixteen sessions with more than ninety 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 become 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. Hope to see you there!
