ECTA 42ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN ANTWERP - A GLIMPSE BEHIND THE CURTAIN! INTERVIEW WITH ALBERTO GIORDANO, MODERATOR OF THE SESSION ‘EQUAL ACCESS TO SPARKLING OPPORTUNITIES? DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION’
05/04/2024
REGISTER NOW and join us at the ECTA 42nd Annual Conference in Antwerp!

Among numerous interesting panels, our attendees will also discuss around Diversity & Inclusion, fundamental for a forward-looking IP landscape, in a session moderated by Alberto Giordano, Chadha & Chadha, IN.

1. Introduce yourself and your link to ECTA.

My name is Alberto Giordano, EU Trade Mark and Design Attorney. In 2020 I joined Chadha & Chadha IP to help foreign companies in protection and enforcement of IP rights in India.

From 2021 I am serving the ECTA Programme Committee, and I actively participated in ECTA Conferences and seminars for some years already.

2. Introduce the topic of your Conference session.

A world where everyone feels valued, respected and included is still a dream. Despite significant progress over the past years, there is still a lot of work to be done.

During the panel, we aim to discuss and explore strategies for cultivating a diverse and inclusive workspace where all voices are heard and acknowledged.

3. Introduce the panel of your Conference session.

I will have the pleasure of moderating a panel featuring esteemed professionals from diverse backgrounds:

Deborah Hampton, Trade Mark Team Leader at The Chemours Company, US
Davide Leiballi, EU Trade Mark and Design Attorney at Studio Legale Withers, IT
Roland de Meersman, Managing Director at ABAC-BAAN npo, BE

They will share their experience from three different parts of the world, yet inspired by the same commitment to greater inclusivity. I really look forward to discussing with them and engaging with the audience.

4. Why should Conference participants join your session, and at whom in particular will your session be directed?

This session welcomes all colleagues who aim for a brighter, more inclusive and diverse IP landscape and who are eager to share their ideas and experiences. This discussion is a pivotal moment for our association as we delve into D&I discussion for the first time in a Conference session.

5. Why should IP colleagues register for the ECTA Annual Conference?

The ECTA Annual Conference is a key event for IP professionals, offering a rich array of academic sessions and unparalleled networking opportunities. By attending, you will immerse yourself in cutting-edge discussions, make meaningful connections and become part of the vibrant ECTA Family!
