What's happening in 2025
We're looking forward to a packed schedule full of CITMA events this year. Find out more about our 2025 events programme.
It may only be January but our diaries are already filling up fast with lots of exciting events for 2025. It's set to be another inspiring year, full of networking and learning opportunities.
Looking ahead
We're bringing the international IP community together in London for an extended Spring Conference this March. With an extra half day, you'll experience more insightful discussions, expert-led panels and networking opportunities, complete with a celebratory Spring Party at London's highest public garden, Sky Garden, on the evening of the first day.
We'll also be introducing a brand new event, a Summer Seminar, coming to Leeds in June. Keep an eye out for more details on that soon.
To make room in our busy schedule for this exciting new event and an expanded Spring Conference, we won’t be holding an Autumn Conference this year. We believe that providing new and bigger events elsewhere will add something fresh to our schedule that will help support your professional development.
Coming up
More short-term, we're excited for our first webinar of 2025 in just a couple of weeks. We'll dive into recent developments in Chinese trade mark law and reflect on several important case studies.
For paralegal members, we'll be kicking things off next month with a discussion around the power of AI and technology, and how to leverage them effectively to enhance your career in IP.
There is also the chance to attend an evening lecture, running across a series of dates in Birmingham, Bristol and London. With a rotating panel of barristers from 3PB, this lecture promises to enhance your practice, from cross-examination techniques to grounds for appeal.
Not forgetting a staple CITMA event - it's almost time to assemble your quiz team. We're returning to the Steam Wine Bar in Monument, where you can test your trivia knowledge alongside the brightest minds in IP.
Save the date
With more than 150 paralegals, speakers and exhibitors in attendance last year, we're delighted to share that our Paralegal Conference will be returning on Tuesday, 23rd September.
Finally, celebrate the year with us at our annual Christmas Lunch on Friday, 5th December at London’s iconic Royal Lancaster Hotel. Our Northern Christmas Lunch will also return on Friday, 12th December.
