Diversity in IP Conference: secure your seat for free
There is undoubtedly greater recognition of the importance of diversity and inclusion (D&I) throughout the legal sector. But companies, organisations, and law firms know that, in order to ensure lasting change, they must build on that progress. .
Join us on December 7-8, 2021 for WIPR’s free Diversity in IP Virtual Conference and discover how legal teams across the globe are addressing D&I in the workplace, including: GSK, IBM, Mondelēz International, Arbor Biotechnologies, Lumen Technologies, Anaqua and more.
During the event, you will be able to explore some of the most pertinent D&I issues facing the legal industry, including how: firms can help the move toward a more equitable workplace, what a diverse workforce means for the bottom line, and how minority groups can overcome adversity. View the agenda here.
WIPR’s 2021 diversity survey confirmed that there is more work to be done. A quarter of respondents are unconvinced that their senior leaders are strongly committed to D&I, while 41% believe that the legal sector is failing on D&I.
The two-day online conference builds on the success of our inaugural and award-nominated WIPR Diversity Magazin e. It will take a broad global view of the status of women and minorities working in IP—and then delve deeper into specific issues affecting D&I.
During the conference, you can also learn how to support the many ways people express, experience, and identify their gender and sexual orientation in the workplace. How can we call out prejudice and what strategies can we use to ensure we can communicate in an open environment?
Diversity in IP presents an unrivalled gathering of in-house IP counsel, along with their private practice counterparts, who will offer updates on the latest thinking on how to devise strategies to harness the benefits of a diverse workforce
This interactive event is designed for employers and employees, and for senior partners and associates, to ensure that you remain up to speed with the current thinking of your IP peers—enabling you to benchmark your own practices against those of leading industry practitioners.
