SUMMARY:Meet the Community: Pitch & Pizza Night
DESCRIPTION:Summer is over\, the kids are back to school – a great time for us to brush up on our presentation skills. Whether you’re preparing to present at a “Meet the Buyer” session\, want to improve your storytelling in general or want to share your biggest learnings (and failures) from previous pitches – this is the right place to do it! Let’s use this session to work on your perfect 2-minute sales pitch. Just like our “Meet the Buyer” sessions – only that you’ll be pitching to your fellow community members instead. How does it work?We offer time slots of 15 minutes per member company. This will include feedback from the audience\, so we recommend preparing a pitch that is not longer than 2 minutes. This is a great opportunity to practice pitching within the safe space of our community (no external attendees) & learn from each other. We hope to see you there! Agenda:16.30 – 16.45 Walk-in & Welcome16.45 – 20.00 Pitch time20.00 – 21.00 Wrap-up & Pizza PartyPlease RSVP before September 6. You can apply for a maximum of 2 people per member business. After your application we will get in touch with you with a detailed timeline for the evening. Please note that if there are more participants than 12 who want to pitch\, we will repeat the session on a new date (details will follow).

SUMMARY:Meet the Expert x Brand Protection
DESCRIPTION:Your brand is your company’s most valuable asset. It is much more than just a design or a logo. But did you know that without a valid trademark registration you can’t claim a right to your brand name or logo? That makes solid brand protection in the countries where you produce and/or sell your products essential. On the other hand\, brand protection in an area that is too wide leads to unnecessary risks and may even result in you losing your rights. In this “Meet the Expert” session you’ll have the opportunity to ask all your brand protection related questions in 1-on-1 sessions with the experts of Kilburn & Strode. You will get a 45 minute time slot to discuss the specific topics you are interested in. You will be able to ask questions such as:– What do I need to consider when choosing my brand name and logo?– Do I really need to protect my brand?– Is my brand safe once I get a trademark registration?– How does it work if I want to export to other countries?– How do I ensure that my trademark remains as strong as possible?– What can I do if I find out about a trademark violation?About the ExpertsKilburn & Strode is specialised in global Intellectual Property law\, in particular in the field of patents and trademark registration. They are protecting brands in the Netherlands\, but also in Europe and the rest of the world. Their specialised trademark attorneys have extensive experience in the field of availability searches\, application and registration procedures worldwide\, oppositions\, infringement cases and portfolio management in various industries\, including the food & drink sector. Diversity and inclusiveness are of paramount importance to Kilburn & Strode\, and a percentage of their profits is donated annually to innovative charities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese are the experts from Kilburn & Strode that you’ll meet:– Claudia Festen\, Partner in the trademarks team. She handles a wide variety of trademark and design matters in Benelux\, the EU and abroad.– Marit Blom\, Paralegal in the firm’s Hilversum office. She brings over 18 years of experience in the world of trademarks and designs. – Celina Özcan\, Trainee Trademark Attorney. Celina is fluent in Dutch\, English and Turkish\, and uniquely placed to assist clients on a Dutch\, British and European level.Registration for this session closes on September 13. If you submit the specific questions/topics you’re interested in\, we can make sure to match you with the right expert.
