[E-trademarks] 2026 INTA Annual Meeting in Dubai moved to 2029

Thu Jun 13 15:35:00 EDT 2024

I chatted with a handful of folks in Atlanta, and as one person noted, about 60% of INTAs membership are women, and Dubai is not the friendliest place in that regard, let alone for any LGBTQ+ members. My guess is that they were getting some very serious pushback.

Lots of CYA in the press release.   Anyone know why the delay?  I’m not objecting—I have no desire to visit Dubai—but I am curious.
