INTRODUCTION
Drawing from the success of events in New York, Palo Alto and a recent addition in
Hong Kong, the MIP International Women’s Leadership Forum returns to London for
the fifth consecutive year in January 2019. The interactive one-day forum will focus on
European and international IP developments, providing an opportunity for women in
IP to network and learn from industry thought leaders. Legal topics will include: explo-
ration of the latest legal strategies to develop a nimble IP strategy; how technology
could change the face of IP; with afternoon workshops covering the importance of an
inclusive culture; maximising employee well-being and stress management, bringing
your workplace up to date; among many others.

Throughout the day, dynamic discussions will examine best practice and innovation
around leadership, techniques for efficient and effective management of your IP,
embracing change and the empowerment through communication. Leading general
counsel and IP counsel will share their valuable experiences, thoughts and insights
with the audience to promote the next generation of leading IP women.

The MIP International Women’s Leadership Forum is an inclusive event, welcoming
newly admitted lawyers, associates, partner, legal counsel through senior in-house
counsel, women as well as men. The forum aims to support the advancement of
women counsel through a one-day programme; a professional development opportu-
nity for the next generation of women leaders. The day will facilitate sharing of knowl-
edge and experiences of women in leadership and senior IP roles with those seeking
to progress further in their careers.
