We're continuing our Patents, Trademarks, and Intellectual Property WITI Industry Network and Skills (WINS) to service the booming segment of the tech industry. This event occurs the second Monday of every month.

In this session, we will share the vision for the WINS, as well as the objectives and initiatives for the year. But this won't be a one-sided sharing - we want this to be collaborative so we can get your feedback and ideas on the focus areas and concrete next steps to enable us to build momentum for the WIN, make sure we are hitting your interests, and help you with your own goals. So bring your collaboration mindset, and let's have a fun and productive session!

This event occurs the second Monday of every month.

***No Recruiting or soliciting allowed at any WITI WINS Event. These events are for education and relationship building only***
