Attendees typically have a professional, scientific, economic or technical interest in patents and represent a multitude of organizations including corporations, universities, government agencies, non-government organizations and non-profit organizations. 

This year, the Annual Conference will again combine the traditional Annual Conference with the Biotechnology Conference.  It begins with the Welcome Reception on Tuesday, May 19th and the in-person plenary sessions at the Convene Conference Center run from Tuesday through Thursday, May 19th through 21st.  You’ll have many great opportunities to learn and connect throughout the conference.  Wednesday, May 27th will be our Annual Business Meeting which will be held virtually and open to all PIUG Members.
