Women’s Entrepreneurship Symposium with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce

As women’s businesses continue to expand, we incur increasing opportunities and risk. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce have come together to provide a full day symposium to assist women in business who need to protect Intellectual Property assets in both commercial and government sectors, leverage these assets to secure increased opportunities, secure financial resources, and expand operations into the federal sector and global marketplace.

The Women’s Entrepreneurship Symposium will be a unique day which will focus on women entrepreneurs: the importance of intellectual property protection for their innovations, goods, and services, critical information on numerous aspects of entrepreneurship, and how to leverage economic opportunities for women owned businesses.

This exciting symposium brings together a number of national and local partners who will provide essential information for anyone planning to launch a business or anyone currently in business. Additionally, it will discuss barriers specific to women and promote ways to overcome such barriers. Agenda topics range from intellectual property in the global marketplace, to strategies to leverage intellectual property assets, accessing financial resources, driving business growth by leveraging business relationships and federal contracting.

Registration for this one-day event includes all conference sessions and materials, light refreshments, luncheon with a keynote speaker and a networking reception.
