IAM Live: China IP Forum 2026

This September, IAM returns to Shanghai for the China IP Forum (formerly IPBC China), uniting the world’s most senior IP leaders to shape the next chapter of IP strategy in China. 

Across two focused days, join 250 IP experts to examine the forces redefining the landscape, from AI integration and the WIPO Shanghai Centre's evolving ADR framework to SEP enforcement, multimedia licensing and the growing impact of the UPC for Chinese companies operating globally.

Whether you're a local business, a regional player, or an international corporation navigating China’s complex IP environment, this is where strategic insight meets real business opportunity.

Build powerful connections, gain actionable insight, and advance your IP agenda at IAM Live: China IP Forum.
