Once you have access to the system (currently those who registered for the Annual Meeting & Leadership Meeting prior to September 15), you can get familiar with the system and begin to make your appointments with other registrants. This way, when the system opens on November 9, you are prepared to start holding video meetings within our virtual platform.

This may happen because the system is looking at commonalities. As you begin to skip your competitors and request/accept meetings, the system will show new connections based on these selections. Thanks to AI, the system becomes more powerful the more information you input and the more you use it. In addition to the suggested matches, focus on who you want to meet and search INTAconnect by location and industry to make the connections you want.

The email confirmation you receive will display the time zone of the meeting requester, but you will see the meeting in the platform schedule in your respective time zone. We recommend that you use the schedule in INTAconnect to manage your calls and meetings because this is set to your preferred time zone. Do not rely on the emails since that approach will cause confusion.

Our 2020 Annual Meeting & Leadership Meeting registration is a flat fee and includes all educational sessions, workshops, Table Topics, and all other add-on events.

Please note that the 2020 registration fee reflects a 30 percent lower rate than our typical fee for a stand-alone Annual Meeting & Leadership Meeting and a 60 percent reduction from the combined fees for the Annual Meeting and Leadership Meeting.

In addition to this already-reduced pricing, we are offering additional packages for all corporate and associate registrants. Corporate registrants are eligible for a special pricing package that will award a free registration with every three registrations purchased by the same organization. Associate registrants are eligible for a special pricing package that will award a free registration with every five registrations purchased by the same firm.

We hope this special offer will enable you to invite more colleagues to experience our first-ever virtual Annual Meeting & Leadership Meeting, while still going easy on your budgets.

We do provide tuition assistance to eligible applicants. To find out more and request an application, contact us. Proper documentation is required.

Registration is now open. It closes on October 30, before the start of the Meeting.

On-site registration will not be available.

First, early-bird registration offers a cost savings of at least US $100.

And by signing up early, you gain premier access to this year’s Meeting, including early access to sign up for networking sessions such as Speed Networking and Table Topics, as well as workshops and exclusive access to some educational sessions.

Additionally, the first 1,500 registrants will receive early access to registration and hotels for the 2021 Annual Meeting, May 1-5, in San Diego, California, USA.

Our Annual Meeting & Leadership Meeting is the premier global event for brand owners, trademark professionals, and other stakeholders.

Your registration for the Annual Meeting is transferable to another individual employed by your organization. For those attending the Leadership Meeting please note that attendance is exclusively for committee members. Any substitute must be on a current committee and, therefore, already eligible to register for the Meeting. Please fill out the Substitution Request Form.

CLE credits/CPD points will be available for many sessions.

Due to the introduction of some shorter formats including town halls and capsule keynotes, not all sessions will be CLE/CPD eligible. However, although not eligible for credit, these educational sessions and dialogues will significantly contribute to your knowledge base and overall experience.

Sessions will be presented in live, simulated live (simulive), and on-demand formats. Simulive provides the best of both worlds: pre-recorded presentations plus live interactions with speakers through question and answer and chat functions during the session.

One of the benefits of a virtual meeting is that all sessions will be available for you to view after the event on-demand. You’ll be able to access sessions at a convenient time and at your own pace until January 10, 2021.

Yes, live and simulive sessions will provide you with the opportunity to engage in a live Q&A session with speakers and participate in polls and surveys.

We recognize the important role that networking plays for most registrants and thus, we are prioritizing this aspect of this year’s Meeting.

We plan to have a number of different networking opportunities, including, Table Topics, Speed Networking, social events, Business Hubs, and Corporate Meeting Rooms. The latter will enable Corporate Members to meet with external counsel, for example.

While there will be opportunities to network via chat, many of our networking options will include face-to-face interactions through video calls.

Yes, there will be Corporate Meeting Rooms and Business Hubs that can be used to host private meetings with clients or outside counsels. This is a members-only benefit, and many of our Corporate Members have already committed to hosting their meetings within these spaces.

Yes. Please contact us to report your additional events.

We’re offering exciting and flexible opportunities for both sponsoring and exhibiting at the Meeting.

Sponsors will have their own space to meet with registrants, plus the opportunity to sponsor events, workshops, banners, and more.

The Meeting will feature a dynamic Exhibit Hall where Exhibitors and registrants can interact and even schedule time to see a demonstration of the Exhibitor’s products and services.
