You can now book your place at the 37^th MARQUES Annual Conference, which takes place in Berlin, Germany form Tuesday 19 to Friday 22 September 2023.

The theme of this year’s Conference is “In Brands We Trust: The Next Frontier” and sessions will address issues such as how diversity and the cultural environment will affect brand authenticity

There will be panel sessions on topics including piloting brands, the metaverse, people power, brands in a time of crisis, e-commerce, and next generation content.

There will also be a session on recent CJEU and EU General Court case law and one on current opportunities and challenges faced by WIPO.

On Thursday afternoon, delegates can choose between six workshops – on China, GIs, sustainability regulations, brand engagement, the rule of neutralisation and EU design law. Each of the workshops will be repeated, meaning you can attend two sessions.

Social events include a Welcome Reception (Tuesday), Cultural Reception at the Arminius Markthalle (Wednesday) and Gala Dinner (Thursday). There will also be a choice of tours on Thursday afternoon.

Registration is now available for both MARQUES members and non-members. There is an Early Bird discount available for MARQUES members until 30 June, so it may be worth joining MARQUES to take advantage of that.

There is a non-accommodation option and modular registration are also available.

Berlin is an iconic city with a unique history and MARQUES looks forward to returning there for the 37^th Annual Conference. We hope you can join us!
