Speer commented, “I am committed to smashing the statistic that less than 1.8% of IP Lawyers are minority. We will inspire others to see themselves by recruiting diverse speakers only. That may not be popular, but we know plenty of PHENOMENAL SPEAKERS who are MINORITY by Classification but in n MINORITY BY PERFORMANCE IN THIS FIELD. Many areas of complaint in this field is that we are not given the right opportunities to showcase our gifts. We aim to be that resource.”
