2024 Thought Leader Summit Agenda

Simultaneous Bi-Coastal Event!
USPTO Alexandria, VA  |   USPTO San Jose, CA   
 

The PTAB Bar Association Thought Leader Summit will be held on Thursday, October 10, 2024.  This year’s event will be a unique bi-coastal experience, held simultaneously at the USPTO offices in Alexandria, Virginia (1:30pm-5:30pm ET) and San Jose, California (10:30am-2:30pm PT). Attendees in both venues will have the opportunity to forge meaningful connections with peers and colleagues at the networking reception immediately following the programming.

Key highlights include a panel discussion in Virginia that will be live-streamed to California, followed by in-person keynote addresses and engaging round table discussions at both locations. New this year, the Thought Leader Summit will add an Expertise Expo, offering participants an in-person opportunity to engage in Q&A with topic experts including APJs and fellow practitioners to address practical and procedural issues that arise in practice before the PTAB. After the sessions, attendees will have the chance to network with peers and colleagues during receptions at both venues.
