WIPR Summit 2027

Connecting the global IP community in the heart of the Midwest across dedicated Patent and Trademark tracks. The IP landscape is entering another period of major disruption. Rapid advances in generative and agentic AI, evolving enforcement challenges, and increasing pressure on budgets and headcount are forcing IP leaders to rethink how their teams operate. Today, the role of the IP function goes far beyond protecting intellectual property. Senior IP leaders are increasingly expected to show measurable business value, support growth, manage risk, and earn greater influence with the C-suite. Against this backdrop, the World IP Review Summit returns to Chicago on March 2–3, 2027, bringing together senior in-house IP leaders, leading private practice attorneys, and technology providers for two days of practical discussion, benchmarking, and relationship-building.
