We will close out this year’s conference with a panel of esteemed women leaders in IP law who will share the most influential lesson or piece of advice that they received from a mentor in the course of their career. Our panelists will explore:

  • Pass along golden nuggets of wisdom that have impacted their own career trajectories
  • Share examples of targeted initiatives or strategic investments in female talent development that have actually paid off
  • Share experiences with a mentor or mentee that have helped them in their own job performance and job satisfaction
  • Impart meaningful advice on the next generation of women preparing to lead in the IP legal industry
