• Hear from leading academics and the USPTO about how to run pilot programs and quantify their impact using best practices as documented in the IPO Diversity Toolkit and High Tech Law Institute's Best Practices in Diversity Guide.
• Join a community of leaders exploring novel ways to increase the participation of women and underrepresented groups in innovation and inventing.
