This year’s Annual Meeting brought together over a thousand intellectual property professionals from across the globe in the nation’s capital — Washington, DC! As the heart of innovation, policy, and global dialogue, DC provided the perfect setting for three days of dynamic programming, collaboration, and community. The 2025 Meeting featured thought-provoking discussions on emerging issues in AI, design rights, patent practice, and copyright reform, along with hands-on Skills Workshops, committee meetings, and special events that connected members across every area of IP. From plenaries and CLE sessions to unforgettable networking receptions, this year’s Annual Meeting captured the energy and excellence that define AIPLA.
