Save the Date – October 26-28 –
For the first time, ChIPs is bringing together NextGen and Global Summit for three days of content, learning, and connection. The program will be held at the landmark Fairmont San Francisco.
Keynote speaker confirmed! Long-time ChIPs member and now Director of the USPTO, Kathi Vidal
Did you know that the Fairmont San Francisco was built by the Fair sisters and then designed by Julia Morgan, the first woman to be admitted to the architecture program at l’École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first woman architect licensed in California. She designed many edifices for institutions serving women and girls, including a number of YWCAs and buildings for Mills College. What a perfect place to celebrate the advancement of women in technology, law, and policy.
Subject to change. Speakers to be announced – coming soon.
