Networking Opportunities at the 2020 Annual Meeting & Leadership Meeting
We’re offering a wide range of live networking experiences to help you connect to registrants around the world.
These sessions require a one-hour time commitment to participate. Please note that you are limited to choose 2 of each type of networking that requires pre-registration for the duration of the meeting.
For example, you can pre-register for two Speed Networking sessions and two Table Topics of your choice. However, if you choose more than two, our Member Operations team will contact you, and will ask that you select your top choices. To avoid this back and forth and the possibility of missing out on your top choice—pick 2!
We strongly encourage you to approach this virtual meeting as you would an in-person meeting. Develop a strategy and coordinate with your colleagues to ensure you do not overlap your choices. To get the most out of the networking opportunities and to avoid sitting next to your colleagues, please work internally to develop a strategy and coordinate with your colleagues to ensure you do not overlap your choices. We’ll do our best to audit and avoid this type of overlap, but this coordination is the registrant’s responsibility.
Spacing is limited. If you are unable to join a session, please cancel ahead of time.

Business Hubs
Business Hubs are an important component of the Annual Meeting, offering members the opportunity to conduct business with their partners and vendors. We are pleased to announce that we will be having Virtual Business Hubs available for the duration of the Meeting.
As part of INTAconnect, our virtual appointment system, Virtual Business Hubs will allow law firms to have a page describing their services and list all registrants from their firm attending the meeting. They will be able to schedule meetings with between 2 and 50 registrants in this space and can control their own schedule by time zone and duration. Not only will this help with organizing their appointments, but will provide increased exposure in INTAconnect.
Corporate Meet-Ups
We’re pleased to announce that we will be offering Corporate Meet-Up sessions—exclusive to brand owners. This is a new way to meet and interact with your global in-house counterparts in an informal and relaxed setting.
Sessions will be moderated one-hour video meetings with 12 brand owners and will not be recorded. We are offering sessions at times convenient for many time zones to facilitate more global networking opportunities.
Available: Monday, November 9 through November 20 at various times
Table Topics
A perennial favorite, Table Topics provide a unique opportunity to meet global colleagues in small group settings and discuss topics of interest. This year we are offering several different types of Table Topics including subjects that correlate to the different Education tracks.
