2026 Thought Leader Summit
Wednesday, October 7, 2026
Alexandria, VA
Join us for the 2026 PTAB Bar Association Thought Leader Summit on Wednesday, October 7th! The event will be held at the Westin Alexandria Old Town in Alexandria, Virginia from 2:00pm-5:00pm ET.
In a time of unprecedented change across the patent landscape, staying informed and connected has never been more important. The PTAB Bar Association's Thought Leader Summit brings together fellow practitioners, in-house counsel, industry experts, and judges from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) to discuss the developments, challenges, and opportunities shaping patent practice today.
This year's Summit promises a rich lineup of educational programming, including remarks from Chief Judge Kalyan Deshpande, USPTO and two CLE sessions examining the issues and latest developments influencing today's PTAB and patent landscape. Attendees will hear from leading voices in the industry during a dynamic panel discussion before participating in engaging roundtable conversations that encourage the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and practical strategies.
Sponsorship places your organization directly in front of the professionals who influence, litigate, and manage some of the most significant patent disputes in the United States. Whether your goal is brand visibility, client development, thought leadership, or strengthening strategic relationships, PTAB Bar Association sponsorship opportunities provide meaningful engagement with a highly targeted and influential audience. Organizations looking to elevate their visibility and engage with this influential audience are invited to explore our sponsorship opportunities below. Unless otherwise noted, opportunities are non-exclusive, allowing multiple organizations to participate at each level and maximize exposure throughout the event.
