IP100 Attendee Testimonial

"IP100 is an outstanding event that provides exactly the sort of quality interactions needed for industry and university partners to discuss issues of the day.  IP100 evokes an environment of trust, and enables each participant to actively engage in a way that is not possible in other large scale conferences or seminars.  If there was only one event I attended each year I would choose IP100, and I would recommend it highly to my colleagues."

-Lesley Millar, Director of the Office of Technology Management (OTM), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
