DECEMBER 3INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP FORUM 2019
SAN MATEO MARRIOTT CALIFORNIA
We are back on the west coast with our sixth annual MIP International Women’s Leadership Forum!
Our primary objective is to provide a one-day forum on the latest IP issues and leadership development concerns presented by senior women lawyers. As such, industry practitioners will share best practices and provide varied perspectives in a mutually beneficial environment. There will also be time to share leadership and career development success stories, as well as networking opportunities to meet fellow attendees. You will leave with new legal insights, great IP resources, and a network of new peers to help you succeed in your career!
The MIP International Women’s Leadership Forum is an inclusive event, welcoming newly-admitted lawyers, associates and partners, junior legal counsel through to chief legal officers, women as well as men. The forum supports the legal advancement of women counsel with a one-day CLE-eligible program and a professional development opportunity for the next generation of women leaders.
