Breaking the stalemate:
Navigating new regulations, crafting resource-savvy strategies and mastering the art of measured risks

Are in-house IP counsel at a standstill in 2026? Budgets decreasing, regulations increasing, an ocean of patents to compete with, the development and proliferation of fake goods – and that’s just the surface! The problems are evolving, but the solutions are staying the same.

At Global IP Exchange Europe, you’ll have the chance to go beyond generic conferences. An invite-only gathering for a small group of senior IP decision-makers, it is designed for intimate peer-to-peer exchanges and tailored one-to-one meetings that cut through the noise. Together, you’ll explore what really matters and discover the right partners and tools to elevate your IP strategy in today’s evolving landscape. It’s time to move past the stalemate. Join the leaders shaping the future of IP

Participating in the Global IP Exchange was a valuable experience. It provided a great opportunity to connect with industry professionals and gain deep insights into the challenges shaping today’s IP landscape. The sessions were highly informative, and having a personalized itinerary allowed me to engage with key brands and decision-makers in a meaningful way.

Very well organised and insightful event, providing diverse content and plenty of networking opportunities.
