PIUG invites you to join us at the 2026 Joint Annual and Biotech Conference from May 19-21, 2026, at the Convene Conference Center in Philadelphia, PA.

Conference Themes:

• Human + Machine = Hybrid Intelligence
• Navigating IP Operations in the Age of AI
• Biopharma Patents: At the Intersection of Science, Strategy, and Litigation

Interact and learn from colleagues in an immersive environment focused on patent information, including social networking, a mix of traditional talks, insights, and time-saving tips from vendor workshops, and interactive panel discussions.

The Patent and Information Users Group (PIUG) is privileged to announce WIPO’s participation in their 2026 Joint Annual & Biotech Meeting. In addition to delivering the keynote address, they have agreed to present their interactive serious game session, Patent Quest.

Patent Quest is the first-ever game-based learning on patent analytics and has been developed in collaboration with House of Knowledge (HoK). Players are part of a team tasked to go through the necessary steps to create a patent landscape report, including defining scope, patent search, data cleaning, data analysis, and summation. Along the way, participants learn new techniques and ways of thinking from their team members.

Don’t miss this one-time opportunity – register for the PIUG Conference now.

Attendees include all areas of the patent professional community, including attorneys, patent agents, examiners, corporate searchers, and independent consultants.

We are still accepting sponsorships and registrations up to the conference start date.
