ANNUAL CONFERENCE: A FIRST-TIMER’S PERSPECTIVE
|
|
 The MARQUES Education Team has published an interview with Sara De Toledo about her experience of attending the MARQUES Annual Conference for the first time
|
|
The interview, conducted by Team member Graeme Murrary, is available to read in full on the Class 46 blog here. In the interview, Sara said: "I particularly enjoyed the presentations, not only because of the topics covered, but also because of the impressive calibre of the speakers. It was inspiring to meet people with similar interests, but also those with different perspectives. Overall, it was an incredibly enriching experience." She highlighted the evening event at Madurodam and the session on Brands in International Trade. "MARQUES is one of the most prestigious IP conferences, bringing together top professionals from around the world, so attending the sessions is always a highly rewarding experience," she added. Next year’s Annual Conference takes place in Lisbon, Portugal from 22 to 25 September. Full details will be announced in Spring 2026. Photo courtesy of Sara De Toledo
