“It always seems impossible until it’s done”
(Nelson Mandela)
IP Futures were delighted to present an evening lecture by Emma Himsworth QC of One Essex Court, followed by drinks in Allen & Overy’s Fuse tech innovation space.
Emma’s talk, entitled “It always seems impossible until it’s done“, was a discussion in two parts:
- Diversity and inclusivity – the IP profession past, present and future – a personal perspective; and
- Where are we now with IP and Brexit? Have we yet got beyond “I haven’t got the foggiest idea what is going to happen . . . ask Mr Blobby” (Chris Mason, BBC political correspondent)?
Registration was from 6.30 pm, with the main event starting at 7 pm. Our hosts Allen & Overy kindly provided light refreshments afterwards, so our visitors could stay around to chat with friends both old and new. It was a great way to meet other early career IP professionals, and an entertaining – not to mention inspiring – evening.
Venue: Allen & Overy, One Bishops Square, Spitalfields, London E1 6AD
