Barrier breakers. Champions of women. Outspoken advocates for equality. Leaders in business and law. Public servants with legacies of pushing for progress. These are the ChIPs Hall of Fame inductees.
ChIPs established the Hall of Fame in 2013 to honor today’s leaders and inspire the next generation. Hall of Fame honorees are individuals who have made significant contributions to law, technology and policy and who have demonstrated a commitment to the advancement of women.
We are proud to induct U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to our prestigious Hall of Fame.
Gillibrand (D-NY) will be honored during the ChIPs Global Summit, “The Next Act: IP, Innovation & Influence,” October 21-23, in Los Angeles. In addition, she will join ChIPs Board Chair and former General Counsel of Oracle Dorian Daley for a fireside chat after her award is conferred.
“During her nearly two decades in Congress, Senator Gillibrand has actively supported the effective, forward-thinking, mindful development of emerging technologies and advocated for their responsible use,” said ChIPs Executive Director Joan Toth.
