Speakers, agendas now live for IP Dealmakers Europe + LF Dealmakers Europe (London, May 11-13)

Olivia Sophie Rafferty

The speakers and preliminary agendas for the 3rd Annual IP Dealmakers Europe and Annual LF Dealmakers Europe, taking place at the Royal Garden Hotel from May 11 to May 13, are finally out.

The agenda for IP Dealmakers, which also includes a pre-day workshop on AI, will feature panels on the injunction arms race, why India, Brazil, and China are now essential jurisdictions, and the “new age” of IP-backed finance. Meanwhile, LF Dealmakers discussions will cover disclosure, conduct, and proportionality, as well as judicial pressure points – and their implications for firms, funders, and cases, and pricing and negotiation dynamics with funders in a tighter market.

We’re delighted to be partnering with the team behind IP Dealmakers Europe 2026 and LF Dealmakers Europe 2026 – returning to London this spring for one powerful, co-located week.

Participants who sign up for the 3rd annual IP Dealmakers Europe and/or the 3rd annual LF Dealmakers Europe by February 21 will be able to access the Super Early Bird rate (£1,595). Decision-makers who are interested in both LF and IP can select an “all access ticket” for £1,995 (again, by February 21).

ip fray is the official media partner of the dual event and will report before, during, and after, as well as hold one-to-one meetings with IP and LF decision-makers at the event.
