The Structure of this Year s Conference This year s Thought Leadership Conference will be different. Feedback from prior years suggested that the proceedings be even more interactive. In response, the initial session will include a presentation and discussion of the results of a survey regarding how intangible assets are managed and utilized by various organizations attending this year s conference. Each subsequent session will be comprised of a 20-minute framing presentation followed by an interactive discussion among the attendees focusing on a key aspect of this year s agenda. We have paired a senior business executive with a senior member of ipcapital Group to lead each discussion. The keynote presenter, back by popular demand, will be ipcapital Group board member Marshall Phelps. We will use a paperless format this year. Each attendee will receive a pre-loaded electronic tablet when they check-in for the conference. The tablet will contain a welcome message from John and Robert, the Managing Directors of ipcapital Group, the agenda, all presentations and the results of the pre-conference survey. A summary of each session will be made available at the conclusion of the meeting.
