About the Summit

Where In-House IP Decision-Makers Come to Do Business

In today's volatile innovation landscape, intellectual property is more than protection — it's power. The IP Strategy Summit: Seattle brings together the nation's leading IP executives, general counsel, and industry experts to examine how top organizations are protecting, leveraging, and monetizing their intellectual assets in a fast-changing global market.

"We convene 100+ senior in-house IP counsel, patent directors, and licensing executives in one room — with the most pressing questions in portfolio strategy, patent enforcement, and AI-era IP governance on the table."
◆ 5 HRS WA CLE Approved for Washington State Continuing Legal Education

This summit is a focused business development platform built around peer-to-peer benchmarking — not passive learning. The program is structured to help sponsors meet in-house IP leaders, showcase their expertise, and build the trusted relationships that lead to panel appointments, portfolio mandates, and long-term engagements.

Sponsorship offers a lower-friction, higher-impact path to the IP relationships that matter most — with easy-to-approve packages, multiple built-in networking moments, one-to-one meetings, and a post-conference attendee list for every sponsor.

The Case for Sponsorship

Why the Networking Model Works

01
Concentrated Access
Chief IP Counsel, Patent Directors, GCs, and senior licensing executives — all in one room, on one day, actively seeking to benchmark against peers and engage outside counsel and service providers who understand the IP landscape at an enterprise level.
02
Low Friction to Entry
Easy to understand, easy to approve internally, and easy to purchase. Packages fit real legal marketing and business development budgets — with minimal back-and-forth. Sponsorship starts at $1,500 with a post-conference attendee list included at every tier.
03
Real Conversations
An environment designed for long-term relationship building — not transactional speed networking. Built-in touchpoints include breakfast, one-to-one meetings, lunch, networking breaks, and cocktail roundtables, creating natural, organic moments to connect throughout the day.
04
Pacific Northwest Reach
Seattle is home to Intel, Microsoft, Amazon, Stryker, T-Mobile, Expedia, HP, and Boeing — among others. Access to the Pacific Northwest's in-house IP community is uniquely concentrated at this summit, and scalable across the full CenterForce summit calendar.
