We then moved into breakout discussions to give attendees a chance to share views and experiences in a supportive setting. Whether you are already using AI, still working out what to make of it, or have concerns about how it may affect roles and ways of working, this session was designed to create space for honest discussion.
Who was it for?
IP Inclusive events are for everyone working in the IP professions – including marketing, HR, IT, paralegal, recruitment, accounting, patents, trade marks, and whatever level you are at from trainee to senior leader – *everyone* is welcome to attend.
Cost and registration
This event was free, and so are all IP Inclusive’s resources. We think it is important to keep IP Inclusive on the right side of the paywall.
That said, we do need funds to keep the show on the road, so if you enjoyed the event please consider contributing. For more information, visit the IP Inclusive fundraising page here.
