INTA’s 140th Annual Meeting in Seattle

After the presentations, meetings, contacts, dinners and parties, it is time to stop and analyze what INTA 2018 left behind.

Here we list the most outstanding aspects of the annual meeting.

  • Nine of the ten most valuable brands were present.
  • The event moved close to USD 20 million to boost Seattle’s economy.
  • It brought nearly 11,000 delegates from around the world.
  • One of the largest delegations was China, which ranked second after the United States.
  • For many, the best presentation was ‘Ethics at the Movies’ by Larry Cohen from the Cohen Law Firm.
  • One of the most memorable moments was at the opening ceremony when the 2018 INTA president, Tish Berard, played a cover of Nirvana and then gave an inspiring speech.
  • Another moment that will be preserved for posterity was Amazon’s talk about the way they approached the naming of their products: “We want hands-on experience with a product before we think about naming it”.
  • The INTA Closing night party, with all the Seattle rock ‘n’ roll style, was the perfect ending to a memorable reunion.

The casting call for #nirvana ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ poster at the Museum of Pop Culture in #Seattle #INTA2018 finale.  Only born 15 years too late… #trademarks #ip #herewearenowentertainus

40 meetings held, 83k steps / 63km walked, 161 floors climbed, 22k calories burned and probably at least as many consumed. That was my #inta2018 – how was yours?
