AIPF 2018 Annual Meeting

September 26, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - September 28, 2018 @ 1:00 pm EDT

For many, it seems we are living in an era where everything feels different from what was the norm just a few years ago.  The same is happening in the realm of IP, whether one is seeking to develop and exploit IP or one is providing services in this sector.  The 2018 AIPF Annual Meeting builds on the Association’s long-standing practice of providing attendees with information and insights that will help attendees navigate an IP world where “everything feels different.”

WORKSHOP – IMPROVE YOUR PRACTICE EFFICIENCIES AND PROFITABILITY

This year, AIPF is partnering with LegalShift LLC to present an innovative and interactive workshop entitled, “Legal Project Management Essentials: Learn How to Align Client Expectations with Practice Efficiencies and Profitability.” In this structured hands-on environment, all attendees will learn Legal Project Management (LPM) concepts, the practical application of these concepts, and then participate in applying those LPM “best practices” in an actual IP boutique setting. This unique session will be a great opportunity to interact with other attendees and is a must-attend event for every attorney facing  the increasing necessity of aligning lawyers’ performances with client expectations, increasing efficiency of service delivery, and increasing financial profitability.

  • Linda Kuczma, US Patent & Trademark Office
