What an amazing night! Eagle IP was thrilled to represent the city of #HongKong as host at the @AIPLA Women in IP Global Networking event #WIPNE last Thursday. Over dinner and drinks in Sheung Wan, a group of very accomplished Hong Kong women in IP each used their voices to share stories about their career paths, dreams, lessons learned, and inspiration words for the next generation. It was amazing to re-connect with old colleagues, partners, friends, and even finally meet face-to-face (for the first time!) people we’d only known through video calls during the pandemic. Thank you so much to each person who attended. We hope for more opportunities for women in IP to connect in Hong Kong, and also around the world.
