https://a248.e.akamai.net/secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/1/c/0/600_459117792.jpeg

Join us for the 3rd annual Global Intellectual Property and Business Symposium at NJIT's beautiful Eberhardt Hall, with free on-campus parking. You can register on this site or at Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/global-intellectual-property-and-business-symposium-tickets-31779826316?aff=es2), we have multiple sign up sites and have about 40 people registered already. We've added Lively!! See below.

This meeting should be of special interest to Ted Talkers because the keynote speaker, Mark Entwistle, is a very sought after speaker. He's a former ambassador from Canada who has been going to Cuba for years. This is our chance to learn all about the country that has been off-limits to the US for so long. He was also an attache to Israel and the USSR. His presentation will be mostly question and answer, so bring your questions and be prepared to hear from an expert.

We'll have other panels and presentations as well, come for all or part of it. You can find everyone's bios at the website for the event, http://www.gipls2.com .

Use cutting edge tech with Lively and join the fun! Send your opinion to the big screen with Lively. Text to the Lively url and your words will appear in the word cloud after each panel/presentation. At the end of the day, the system will randomly pick 3 phone numbers. Those 3 people will get Visa gift cards. See a sample Lively wordcloud below:
