The Diversity in IP & Tech Summit

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

The past years have brought unprecedented disruptions and uncertainty to our professional and personal lives, and amplified issues faced by women and other diverse individuals within STEM professions – even more so for those practicing in intellectual property and technology hubs.

The Diversity in IP & Tech Summit explores the career obstacles, risks and rewards faced by diverse and underrepresented leaders on the path to a fulfilling and productive career with a focus on how to overcome these challenges and support others striving to succeed.

What is the best way to manage your career? How can you help others succede? Are companies doing enough to promote high-potential individuals? What is unique about working in Tech cities and IP and how can you promote yourself and others in a largely white male-dominated field?

This conference will provide networking and learning opportunities on topics including cultivating allies, mentorship, addressing stereotypes and bias, and career management.

Registration Open
