United States
In addition to meetings of the US Section, FICPI holds a WORLD CONGRESS every three years, attendance of which is restricted to FICPI members. FICPI US holds its own standalone meeting during the WORLD CONGRESS. In addition, FICPI US also holds virtual meetings for all of its members, as well as dinner meetings in various cities as an opportunity for local members to network and hear speakers on current IP topics.
However, OPEN Fora, to which FICPI welcomes colleagues from industry, govermental and legislative bodies and any interested parties, are held in the intervening two years.
The US Section participates with our Canadian and British colleagues to convene combined (so-called “ABC”) meetings every year except for the years in which World Congresses are held. The hosting and country for ABC meetings rotates. The 2026 ABC is being hosted by the U.S. Section.
