It's a fact: women who attend business conferences go further, faster.

ChIPs NextGen Summit is the leading event for rising women stars in tech and IP law. Expect top notch content and great networking. According to a study in the Harvard Business Review, women who attended a women’s business conference were twice as likely to be promoted — and three times as likely to get a raise.* It’s all about connection. According to the study, 71% of attendees said they felt ‘more connected to others” after the event — 78% said they felt more optimistic about the future.” And when you’re feeling connected and confident, there are no limits to what you can do.

*”Do Women’s Networking Events Move the Needle on Equality?” by Shawn Achor, Harvard Business Review, February 2018.

"It was a great opportunity to reflect on my career and gain beneficial insight from other like-minded women. It was also an opportunity to make meaningful connections and grow my network."

-Toni Finnane, HKA

"It was great to hear other women's experiences and perspectives on the practice of law. It is also very valuable to hear diverse set of perspectives from big law partners, to women who started their own company, to in-house counsel"

-Lena Petrovic, Perkins Coie

"I've been blessed with four phenomenal female IP-attorney colleagues in my career, but it's still a very male-dominated field. So, being in a room with hundreds was as refreshing as it was inspirational."

-Alexa Reed, Cole Schotz

"I felt reassured that I'm not the only one feeling like I do about my job/ career/ life in general. My table went deep with the exercises so I felt like I really connected with the other women. These types of conversations are only possible in a safe space like the one ChIPs provided."

-Taryn Willett, Finnegan

"ChIPs NextGen Summit presents passionate and diverse speakers—-judges, law firm partners, in-house counsel, etc.—- from all areas of intellectual property. These speakers share raw stories of their struggles and successes that led to their greatness. These speakers provide practical advice that is immediately applicable to your life."

-Melissa Samano Ruiz, Cherry Johnson Siegmund James

"I love the ChIPs Next Summit because it’s about career advancement and welcoming folks into the ChIPs community. There are so many opportunities earlier in your career to make an impression and find the next big opportunity, and I found those because of peers, mentors and sponsors from ChIPs."

-Meredith Price,  NVIDIA Corporation
