2026 IP Summit

We’re gathering BC’s most forward-thinking founders and innovation leaders for a high-impact half-day conference. Join us as we explore practical IP strategies designed to drive growth for scaling companies.

Back for its third year, the IP Summit Conference brings practical, systems-oriented sessions for founders and operators building IP-intensive companies. Learn how to move faster with fewer missteps by using Canada’s IP supports effectively, tracking progress without adding overhead, and building the right capabilities at the right stage.

*Due to limited seating, companies looking to optimize and leverage their existing IP strategy will be prioritized.
