I wish I could go to this and look at it from a Free Software and Free 
Culture perspective, unfortunately it's a bit far for me.
Also: shame on the term Intellectual Property.

*OUT-LAW Breakfast Seminar - Creative uses of IP
20 May 2008 - Birmingham*

Dear ,

We will shortly be finalising our numbers for our OUT-LAW Breakfast
Seminar: Creative uses of IP - and how to stop them. The event will take
place on Tuesday 20 May 2008 in Birmingham. The outline of the seminar
is as follows:

 From website-scraping to user-generated content, a threat to one
company's intellectual property is an opportunity to another. Exploring
the strengths and weaknesses of IP laws, we ask: how should the
rights-holder keep control in a Web 2.0 market? Our lawyers present both
sides of the story:

     *  Permitted uses of content and brands
     *  Controlling that use and protecting value
     *  Parody marketing: using a proposed new law

The seminar is free. Registration, breakfast and networking from 8am;
and the talk begins 8.30am and end at 9.30am. The event will be held in
our office at Colmore Circus.
