8:00 am-9:30 am Networking breakfast: Diversity in the IP Bar
New this year! Inspired by last year’s IP Debates keynote speaker, retired Justice Judith Snider, who lamented the lack of diversity in the bar when she asked where are the women? Start off the day with diverse leaders in the IP law profession and network in an informal setting. All are welcome to attend this special networking breakfast celebrating diversity in the IP Bar.
10:00 am-12:00 pm Town Hall Meeting (2.0 substantive hours*)
The 8th annual forum on IP litigation reform, hosted by CBA, allows members of the bench and bar to engage in an open discussion of possible procedural reform in a “town hall” format.

12:15-1:45 Luncheon Keynote Address

The evening pays tribute to retiring members of the Federal Courts and the intellectual property bar who have made significant contributions to intellectual property law in Canada.

Pictures of the 2015 gala event can be viewed on the CBA Flickr page.
