Our aim for the IP Week 2015 programme is to provide you with a robust platform upon which you and your peers can debate, discuss and share knowledge on how to address the current issues. Over the three days of conferences, roundtables and breakout sessions, we will be reviewing the state of affairs both globally and locally with a new focus in 2015 on the US and Latin America. The Middle East, Russia and the CIS, Africa and the Asia-Pacific regions will remain key areas of interest – even more so nowadays with the dramatic events taking place in Iraq, Syria and Ukraine.
