Next week, approximately 8,000 people working in trademark law will gather for the International Trademark Association Annual Meeting. This year, INTA’s Annual Meeting will take place in Boston.
Beginning with a keynote speech and cocktail party on Sunday, May 23rd, INTA’s Annual Meeting will provide workshops, seminars, and networking opportunities galore.
Lawyers. Paralegals. Marketers. We’ll all be there to learn about everything from the effects of the Madrid Protocol on your client’s trademark portfolio to how to improve your legal writing skills. I have the privilege of moderating the workshop on the latter subject in the ‘pole position’ time slot. Effective Legal Writing Workshop takes place on Monday, May 24th, 10:30 a.m.
Yesterday, I talked with my friend and colleague Daryl Grecich, INTA’s Director of Marketing and Program Strategy, about the upcoming Annual Meeting. Daryl pointed out some changes for this year.
We’re looking forward to a great Annual Meeting and here are three reasons why.
First, we’re able to attract a large number of professionals who work in the trademark arena -- lawyers, paralegals, marketers. In addition to the educational opportunities, the attendees will be able to benefit from the networking opportunities.
Second, the workshops and seminars provide more than just Continuing Legal Education credit. They are paramount to INTA’s mission of providing good, quality education to practitioners.
Third, the Annual Meeting helps us advance INTA’s work through its committee meetings. These meetings reveal ways we can build on our success and allow us to program future events, forums and conferences.
This year’s Annual Meeting also features a number of new events. For the first time, we have a half-day workshop dedicated to in-house counsel. Alexander Macgillvray, General Counsel of Twitter, Inc., will be the keynote speaker. The workshop provides an outstanding opportunity for in-house counsel to talk about commonalities and differences in how they manage their responsibilities. Generally, in-house counsel deal with fewer resources, so the workshop will help them learn strategies on benchmarking internal resources and managing outside counsel.
Additionally, we have our first art show in the exhibition hall. The art show will display creative work by INTA members, attendees, guests and staff.
