We're looking forward to meeting our friends, colleagues and new faces throughout the week. You'll find us at our offices on the edge of the City of London and at seminars, receptions and events throughout the week. We look forward to connecting with you and to continue important conversations to help shape the future of intellectual property.

We can't wait to see you in London!
