Birketts is delighted to support Women in IP by hosting the Bristol session of their coordinated in-person networking event, Connected Bubbles.

Following last year’s fantastic UK-wide success, Women in IP are once again bringing together IP professionals across the country for a series of coordinated in-person networking events. Designed to be relaxed, welcoming and genuinely enjoyable, Connected Bubbles offers the perfect setting to build meaningful professional relationships — without the formality of a traditional conference.

Why attend?
In a profession built on collaboration, referrals and trusted relationships, strong networks matter. Connected Bubbles is a coordinated, nationwide celebration of the IP community. On the same day, IP professionals across the UK will be coming together in multiple cities, creating a shared moment of connection from Scotland to the South West. Connected Bubbles gives IP professionals the opportunity to:

- Meet peers across private practice, in-house and related IP roles;

- Strengthen regional IP communities while being part of a UK-wide initiative;

- Build relationships beyond your immediate firm or organisation;

- Exchange insights on industry trends and shared challenges;

- Connect with professionals at different career stages in an inclusive setting.

Whether you’re looking to expand your referral network, explore new career perspectives, find potential collaborators, or simply broaden your professional circle, this event provides a friendly and supportive space to do so — over a glass of bubbles (alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available!).

The event is open to everyone working in IP, across all roles and all genders. If you know someone who hasn’t yet been to an IP Inclusive event, this is the perfect one to start with — welcoming, informal, and full of great people. Whether you’re growing your referral network, exploring collaborations, or simply keen to meet more professionals in your region, Connected Bubbles offers a relaxed, welcoming space to do just that.

Please make your way to ground floor reception on arrival, where a member of our team will greet you.
