We are seeking proposals for Table Topics at INTA’s 2027 Annual Meeting in San Diego.
Table Topics are interactive, 90-minute lunch discussions designed to encourage peer exchange and practical learning. Rather than delivering a presentation, moderators facilitate conversation, creating an opportunity for participants to share experiences, compare approaches, and discuss challenges facing the global IP community.
We are looking for discussion topics that are:
- Timely and relevant to the global IP community
- Focused on a specific issue, challenge, or emerging trend
- Built around a clear discussion question
- Designed to encourage participation and the exchange of practical insights
Session Format
- 90-minute discussion during lunch
- May 8-12, 2027
- Maximum of eight participants per table
- Moderator-led, discussion-based format
- Focus on peer learning rather than presentations
A limited number of Table Topics will be selected.
Proposals must be submitted in full and include:
- Discussion question
- Participant learning objectives or takeaways
- Moderator experience and qualifications
- Backup moderator information
