Representatives from IP offices and organisations, IP firms, universities and research institutes, and enterprises, both from home and abroad, gathered to explore issues related to IP operation and services, rights protection, legislation, and judicial enforcement surrounding the theme. The keynote speakers included Mr. Yoshiyuki Takagi, assistant director general of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and Dr. Pham Cong Tac, deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam, who spoke on "digital transformation and IP" and "IP in the new era" respectively.
 
Apart from keynote speeches, more than a dozen breakout sessions were conducted on a range of topics including IP operation ecosystem under economic globalisation; trademark management strategy and brand value realisation; international trade and safeguarding IP rights in overseas market; commercialised operation of geographical indications in global trade; and IP administrative adjudication system interpretation and its practice.
