Works-in-Progress Intellectual Property (WIPIP) Colloquium Events

Prior to the February 2012 colloquium, WIPIP coalesced around the entrepreneurship and guidance of Mike Meurer and Glynn Lunney. Their efforts, along with the volunteers at the host schools in those early years, set the pattern for WIPIP.

Beginning with the 2012 colloquium, an Organizing Board was formed consisting of a representative from the host school for the upcoming colloquium, and four other persons (one per year) who served among the representative(s) for host school(s) from a prior year.

Thus, in the table below, the current Organizing Board for WIPIP is indicated along with the history of the colloquium: a chair elect, a chair, and three members. Past board members (or host school representative(s) for those years before there was a board) are also listed for the year the school(s) hosted WIPIP.
