How you find a solution to this issue will define success for a number of people across the industry. Across multiple sessions at the conference, speakers and panelists at World IP Review Summit will dive deep into this topic. Across two days of content and both structured and unstructured networking, you’ll meet some of the biggest companies in the industry and join discussion on exactly this type of conversation.
