Great speakers, and really appreciated opportunity for open dialogue.

Jennifer Sunderland, Senior Patent Litigation Counsel, Mylan

I enjoyed meeting other trade secret practitioners, hearing their war stories, and sharing practical advice.

The quality of the presentations was very high, and the content was very relevant. The conference was a good size-large enough to have meaningful network opportunities but still small enough to provide an intimate feel.

A great event, very well attended and with some thought-provoking panel discussions.

Laila Beynon, Director - Dispute Resolution, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

Excellent organization
