ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING
Directors’ Forum — This working session is dedicated to the discussing key issues for our community that can be used to raise awareness of critical opportunities and deficits with our own institutional leadership and subsequently with government. This will build on issues identified at past Directors’ Forum sessions.

Add-On Course — Technology licensing is a complex endeavor, requiring years of experience to master. One challenge is that an individual licensing professional is responsible for so few transactions annually that deep expertise is hard to develop, and many unique licensing issues are never experienced. Join this add-on course for a deep dive into the art of academic license negotiation.
