What are you most looking forward to at the Annual Meeting?
It is my first AUTM Annual Meeting. I am really looking forward to connecting with our customers, some I have met virtually, others will be new to me. I am also always on the hunt for ways we can meet our customers where they are, what’s driving change in their world, and learning more from all the amazing experts that will be there.
Why is supporting this event important to your organization?
AUTM advocates and supports the full spectrum of our members’ work – from corporate engagement to intellectual property protection. AUTM represents the heartbeat of our industry and enables us to all learn and grow together.
What excites you most about the future of the technology transfer field?
The future of technology transfer is very exciting as the field moves from a transactional, back-office function to a strategic engine for impact, innovation, and economic growth. Several shifts are converging that materially raise its relevance and potential. Funding mechanisms are expanding, evolving to impact-driven, not just IP-driven, and recognizing global and cross-sector collaboration Is accelerating, and that’s where Wellspring can help!
