Trending topics at INTA 2026 Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting will feature a rich lineup of sessions covering themes ranging from law and policy to understanding brand value in business, and perhaps the most talked-about topic or the year: technology and AI shaping the future of IP. Discussions will tackle themes such as AI-driven advertising and the legal challenges it raises, the impact of AI regulation on brand strategy, and more broadly, the skills and strategies required in an increasingly tech-driven IP landscape.

Education is a central part of the Annual Meeting, and the program therefore offers a wide variety of sessions designed to inform and engage attendees. These include a broad range of formats such as general and featured sessions led by experienced practitioners, interactive table topic discussions focused on idea-sharing, and daily keynote presentations from influential speakers intended to spark conversation and offer fresh perspectives, among other session types. In addition, the Meeting provides plenty of informal opportunities to connect and network, such as receptions, workshops and the Innovation Marketplace at the ExceL London convention center.
