The 10th Annual IP Dealmakers Forum 2023 | IP Dealmakers Forum | 5 December 2023 | Apella, 450 E 29th St, New York, NY 10016, USA

This forum brings together a select group of decision makers at the forefront of the global intellectual property market, including investors, IP owners, industry experts and thought leaders. Considered the industry’s must-attend event, IP Dealmakers is where industry leaders stay informed and where real business gets done.

Based on over twenty years of experience in intellectual property examining industry trends and bringing together influential groups, we launched the first IP Dealmakers in 2014. Focused on the dynamic intellectual property transactions market, IP Dealmakers aims to bring together key decision-makers and stakeholders across a wide range of industries and interests for in-depth discussions, debate, and dealmaking.

We pride ourselves on the quality of the Dealmakers experience. More than just a conference, our goal is to create community through curation of content and connections. Everything we do – from our unique approach to programming to our partnerships with industry leaders to our signature meetings format – is designed with this in mind. But don’t take our word for it. See what our participants have to say about their Dealmakers experience.
