2027 Trademark Administrators and Practitioners (TMAP) Meeting
October 03, 2027 - October 05, 2027
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Learn, Advance Your Career, and Strengthen Your Network at TMAP 2027
Join us at the 2027 Trademark Administrators and Practitioners (TMAP) Meeting in Chicago, a world-class destination for learning, business development, and networking. Designed for non-attorney IP professionals, TMAP also welcomes those newer to intellectual property who want to build foundational knowledge and connect with the broader IP community. As one of North America’s premier commercial and innovation hubs, Chicago is home to one of the top five largest concentrations of INTA members and draws professionals from across the profession. Attendees will engage with trademark administrators, paralegals, in-house professionals, and other IP practitioners through practical sessions, networking events, and interactive discussions. Conveniently located in the heart of the United States, Chicago is easy to reach from across the globe, with two major international airports, extensive public transit, and a vibrant, walkable downtown. Outside the Meeting, attendees can enjoy the city’s renowned architecture, lakefront setting, cultural landmarks, museums, galleries, dining scene, and live entertainment—from Millennium Park and the Chicago Riverwalk to Navy Pier and the city’s celebrated neighborhoods.

New for 2027: Exclusive INTA Member Benefits
Renew for 2027 or beyond, or join INTA, and these new benefits are yours.
- Buy tickets early. From Thursday, October 1, 2026, your Designee (the only person who can renew or join on your organization’s behalf) can buy tickets.
- One group order, one fee. Your Designee buys for your whole organization at once, with a single 3.3% processing fee instead of one per registration.
- Buy now, assign later. No names needed at checkout—assign tickets when you’re ready.
How It Works: Two Ways to Register
Choose the option that works best for you.
- Option 1: Buy now, assign later
- Open to members who renew or join INTA. Not renewing yet? See Option 2.
- Your Designee can buy tickets early, then assign them during the Assignment phase. Once general registration opens, your Designee can also select any available add-on activities (for now, only the Designee can do this).
- To take advantage of early ticket access, add your tickets during the same transaction in which your organization renews or joins. Tickets cannot be purchased separately after that transaction is complete.
- Option 2: Register when general registration opens
- Registration and hotel booking open to everyone, including prospective members, on Wednesday, April 14, 2027.
- Renew or join first for the member rate, and select any available add-on activities at checkout. Buying for a group? Your Designee can do that too, until Early Bird Registration closes.
- Not renewed yet? You’ll pay the non-member rate, and we can’t offer a credit later—so renew first. See the Event Policies
Option 1 is ideal if you want to renew and buy your event tickets in a single transaction, or if you’re sending a team or still confirming who’s going. Option 2 works well if you already know you’re attending and are happy to renew and register separately.
Not the Designee? Ask your Designee to renew, then register yourself once general registration opens on Wednesday, April 14, 2027.
