Additional Programming
June 23 (Sunday)

• Valuation Course - Offers the fundamentals as specifically applied to academic licensing. The first half of the course examines concepts such as valuation versus pricing and risk, and then covers a series of valuation methodologies, including cost, industry standards (comparables), rules of thumb, discounted cash flow and equity. The first segment concludes with a review of payment structures within a license. The second half of the course consists of two real-world case studies.

June 26 (Wednesday) 

• Directors’ Forum - This full-day working session is dedicated to the creation of a discussion paper outlining 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 last year's Directors’ Forum and the AUTM Canadian Program in Austin.
