The Forum is once again being held at the Waldorf Hilton Hotel. Our two keynote speakers are: UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills and Minister for Intellectual Property, Baroness Neville Rolfe; and Patrick Kilbride, Executive Director for International Intellectual Property, Global Intellectual Property Center, US Chamber of Commerce.

The speaker line-up includes senior IP practitioners from companies such as IBM, Vodafone, Sisvel, Nokia, GKN Aerospace, Sanofi, Novartis and InterDigital.

We also invite all those attending to join us at a cocktail reception on the evening of March 10 to mark Managing IP’s 25th anniversary, and the fifth edition of the Forum.

The Forum will be followed by our Global Awards Dinner, which will be held at the InterContinental Park Lane on the evening of March 11.

In-house IP/patent counsel, academics and R&D professionals can all attend the Forum free of charge.
