Welcome Message

We are pleased to invite you to the Korea Intellectual Property Association (KINPA) Conference 2025.

The 2025 KINPA Conference will take place over two days, October 29 (Wednesday) and 30 (Thursday), at the Grand Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul, Korea.

Attracting over 1,000 professionals from across the IP field, the annual event has established itself as the largest intellectual property (IP) conference in Korea. In recent years, growing participation from international IP experts has further elevated its status as a global forum.

This year’s conference will move beyond the traditional single-track format by offering a variety of concurrent sessions—enabling participants to engage more deeply and to tailor their experience to their specific interests.

For the conference, we will invite Chief IP Officers (CIPOs) and leading practitioners from Korea and abroad. They will engage in in-depth discussions on critical topics such as IP creation, acquisition, utilization, and dispute resolution. They will also share their practical insights on how to leverage IP as a decision-making and business strategy tool.

In addition, a variety of breakout programs, networking lounges, and sponsor booths will be available to support diverse opportunities for networking and information exchange. We will also introduce new initiatives—such as a welcome reception and hands-on excursion programs for international guests—in order to expand the depth and breadth of our program and enhance your overall experience.

To all IP professionals: If you are interested in exploring the evolving landscape of the IP industry in Korea, and in valuable opportunities for professional discourse and networking with top-tier experts worldwide, we cordially invite you to join us at the KINPA Conference 2025.

We look forward to welcoming you with thoughtfully curated programs and attentive event management.

See you in Seoul this October 2025.

Thank you.
