IP Inclusive is excited to announce its debut collaboration between Women in IP and IP Futures, bringing together 'Voices from the top' to inspire new and varied routes to senior, strategic, and influential roles in IP.
Join them for an engaging panel discussion featuring accomplished women from both in-house and private practice backgrounds. Their panellists will share their unique journeys through training, career progression, and advancement to leadership positions, offering valuable insights into the diverse pathways available in the IP profession.
The session will be followed by a networking opportunity where you can connect with fellow professionals and celebrate the evolution beyond traditional career routes in IP leadership.
While this discussion is women-led, the event welcomes all professionals looking to advance their careers and explore different journeys to success in IP.
This event is kindly hosted by Simmons & Simmons at their London offices located at 1 Ropemaker Street.
