We invite you to join us for our inaugural Intellectual Property Symposium, a half-day event in our Washington, DC office.
We have designed this informative program to help in-house counsel and other IP professionals successfully navigate the challenges of an ever-changing environment. Following a keynote luncheon, distinguished guest panelists with a wide range of IP experience will join attorneys from Venable’s global practice for interactive panel discussions. We will end the day with a networking reception on our rooftop.
The event is complimentary and CLE will be available.
