About the Summit

Where Trade Secret Risk Gets Stress-Tested in the Room

Most trade secret strategies look solid until they're tested. The JDA that doesn't hold once the deal moves forward. The employee exit handled outside legal. The cloud environment that can't be reconstructed in discovery. The AEO breach that shifts leverage. By the time a claim is filed, the record is already working against you.

"We put the in-house counsel managing active trade secret exposure in one room — with the litigators, investigators, and employment counsel who deal with the aftermath. The CLE credit is a bonus. The real value is the conversation."
◆ *5 HRS NY CLE Pending approval for New York State Continuing Legal Education

The Trade Secret Strategy Summit: New York examines where breakdown occurs in 2026 — from the first 72 hours of a potential misappropriation to how evidence is preserved, how forum and protective order decisions shape leverage, and where damages models hold or collapse under scrutiny.

This is a litigation-readiness summit, not a general IP overview. Sponsorship provides concentrated access to senior in-house counsel, employment legal, IP litigators, and GC/AI governance leaders — all actively managing trade secret exposure — in a single day of structured peer engagement, one-to-one meetings, roundtables, and open networking.

The Case for Sponsorship

Why the Networking Model Works

01
The Right Buyer Profile
General Counsel, Chief IP Counsel, employment/litigation in-house teams, and AI governance legal leaders — not law students, not HR generalists. Every attendee is operating inside trade secret risk. The conversations are substantive, the mandates are real, and outside counsel and service provider relationships are actively being evaluated.
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. Sponsorship starts at $1,500, with a post-conference attendee list included at every tier and no complicated activation requirements.
03
Built-In Engagement
Multiple structured touchpoints throughout the day — one-to-one meetings, breakfast, lunch, networking breaks, and cocktail roundtables with rotating 20-minute discussions. These aren't forced interactions. They're natural, organic moments designed to produce real conversations, not badge scans.
04
New York Access
New York is home to the highest concentration of Fortune 500 legal departments, financial services in-house teams, and media, tech, and pharma counsel in the country. The Trade Secret Strategy Summit brings that community together around a single agenda — one day, one room, one issue.
