New York, New York—May 20, 2024—The International Trademark Association (INTA) announced today that it will hold its 147th Annual Meeting, the world’s premier event for brand owners and professionals, in San Diego, California, USA, from May 17 to 21, 2025.

INTA CEO Etienne Sanz de Acedo confirmed this during the Opening Ceremonies at the Association’s 2024 Annual Meeting, which is currently underway in Atlanta, Georgia. Close to 9,700 registrants from 136 countries are in Atlanta for the Meeting. Dr Bernice A King was the guest speaker at the packed Opening Ceremonies.

In 2015, INTA held its Annual Meeting in San Diego. 9,875 Registrants attended, a record at the time. “We are thrilled to return to San Diego for our 2025 Annual Meeting,” said INTA CEO Etienne Sanz de Acedo. “The city is a favorite of many INTA members.”

San Diego is a hub for innovation, particularly in biotech and life sciences. It is home to many innovative brands and is currently developing a new Research and Development District along the bayfront.

The city also boasts access to multiple airports, a wide range of hotels, restaurants, and nightlife, a highly walkable downtown, a famously pleasant climate, and the natural beauty of its coastline. Known for its diverse, inclusive environment, resulting in a strong sense of community, San Diego is also a welcoming city.

“San Deigo is a place that reflects some of the Association’s most important values, including celebrating innovation and a spirit of inclusivity,” said Mr Sanz de Acedo. “It is an attractive and convenient destination, and we look forward to welcoming our members from around the world to San Diego next year.”
