This is the only event that facilitates high-level discussions between brand protection managers, legal counsel, directors of investigation and law enforcement officials.  Learn more about our speaking faculty and anticipated attendees.

For three days, you’ll engage in workshops, panel discussions and bespoke presentations. Download the brochure to learn about event topics including online monitoring, IP protection in China and the latest case law.
