This always very dynamic and well-attended session enables you to select from a menu of hot topics in the intellectual property (IP), communications, media and technology sectors, and participate in roundtable discussions. The format of this session is interactive networking. Topics are selected to be of current interest and likely to stimulate a lively debate. Moderators on each table introduce the table topic and the participants do the rest. Background knowledge or experience within areas for discussion is not required. You will have the opportunity to discuss four topics: at scheduled turnover times, the participants move around the tables to the next topic of their choosing. Our menu will include hot and 'late breaking' topics in the areas of IP law, internet law and mobile technologies, technology contracting and dispute resolution, arts and space law. Discussion is usually around the interface of law, business and technology, with a global focus. Many topics for discussion are often the subject of considerable public and media interest, and this will be the case again. In participating in the table topics, you will gain a greater insight into these areas and be able to add your own comments. The session will provide you with a great opportunity to meet many other lawyers and discuss topics of mutual interest with them: don't forget your business cards. We welcome new participants in these discussions.
