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

Thu Jun 13 19:52:30 UTC 2024

I’m more hopeful. They pushed it off to 2029. Then maybe push off again to
2032.  Then maybe… not at all.

I’m disappointed this didn’t occur to them sooner. I usually attend Annual
Meeting but am not planning to go if it does actually happen in 2029.

They received a ton of pushback - The LGBTQ community is not an
insignificant portion of the INTA attendees, plus just the sheer management
of potentially 10k people in that environment.  I was told that one hotel
cannot likely hold everyone, and traveling between properties is a huge
undertaking, not a walkable area.  I'm not convinced 2029 will happen for
these same reasons.  I also heard that the government there is paying for
groups like INTA to hold these conventions so that was likely
initial appeal of Dubai - INTA is all about money.

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.
