Patent and IP conferences that you shouldn’t miss in 2021-2022

Published by Linda on September 29, 2021September 29, 2021

The year 2020 changed many things in our professional life – be it at work, business or networking. Before Covid, the face-to-face conferences and events helped us to stay connected with business professionals and communities. But, the Covid-19 put the “in-person” events on hold, and conferences became online. Starting now and in 2022, we will be witnessing hybrid networking as the new normal evolves.

Here is a comprehensive list of upcoming patent and IP conferences starting from Q4 of 2021 up to 2022, organized by various IP associations, which will help you to identify, plan and participate. Let Covid not stop us from learning and growing.
