Feedback

You completely outdid yourself with the conference. The participants were amazing, the panels were insightful, and the food was seriously some of the most delicious I've ever eaten. Thank you so much for reaching out to me and including me in what is certainly going to be an annual event on my calendar! I hope that you are able to get some rest. I can't believe how hard you work. You are an absolute marvel of nature. With much gratitude and admiration

It was a pleasure to attend this well-organised conference, which has definitely broadened my horizon on SEP/FRAND issues. Thanks for inviting me!

It was my pleasure to attend. I think the event has a very special format: a limited number of high-calibre participants, plenty of opportunity for discussion and debate and a very productive and friendly atmosphere and the aspiration to move things forward!

Thanks for organising the event and giving me a chance to explain the feelings of a large swathe of small companies who don't think they have the knowledge or resources to engage with the IP legal profession. It was a new and intimidating challenge for me, but in the end I was very glad I took it.
