More details about the Fall Conference will follow soon, as we invite speakers and finalize our panels. If you are interested in sponsoring the conference and\/or have an interest in speaking, please let us know.<\/p>\n<p>We at C-IP<sup>2<\/sup>, along with George Mason University and Scalia Law School, are also working on a fundraising campaign. As you may know, C-IP<sup>2<\/sup> is a non-profit center fully funded by private donations, and\u00a0support is vital for us to continue our programming. We have been in touch with many of our sustaining donors and greatly appreciate their continued support. I look forward to following up with those I have not spoken with in the near term. For others on our list who have not regularly supported us, if you are interested in doing so, please reach out, and I would be glad to speak with you. I am always happy to discuss various ways to get involved with us and am open to setting up a call or in-person meeting.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>C-IP<sup>2<\/sup> Hosted &amp; Co-Hosted Events<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><strong>First Meeting of the 2024-2025 Thomas Edison Innovation Fellowship<\/strong><br \/>\nOn March 21-22, C-IP<sup>2<\/sup> hosted the first meeting of the 2024-2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/cip2.gmu.edu\/fellowships-grants\/thomas-edison-innovation-fellowship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Edison Innovation Law and Policy Fellowship<\/a> in La Jolla, CA.
