2023 marked a noteworthy year for developments in the patent world, largely driven by litigation funding. The rapid evolution of the litigation funding industry has far-reaching impacts on the patent litigation ecosystem, spawning a steady stream of discussions and analyses. Conferences are frequently at the heart of these conversations, and one such event creating waves in the industry is LITFINCON, a litigation funding conference. LITFINCON is returning for its third installment, commencing on March 6, 2024.
Hosted by Siltstone Capital, this year’s event will take place at the prestigious Post Oak hotel in Houston, a favorite among NBA teams. True to its legacy, LITFINCON places a premium on enabling organic networking opportunities with fun elements like a Casino night, a preview dinner labelled “Texas Toast”, and a stand-up comedy performance over lunch on the conference’s last day.
A core feature of LITFINCON is the networking opportunities it presents. With speakers from all corners of the litigation funding industry, it fosters relationships not only with deal partners but across the entire sector, facilitating dialogues with litigators, insurance brokers, funders, and prospective clients. These relationships are often the propellors of deals in the industry.
The conference details are still being finalized, but attendees can expect recurring favorites, such as the judges’ panel which offers expert insights generally reserved for bench and bar conferences. This panel discussion is especially relevant given the numerous developments around litigation funding in 2023 concerning disclosure and other fronts. In addition, there will be ample discourse about the increased role of insurance in funded cases, the market for secondary investments in litigation finance, and views on litigation funding from inside corporations that are increasingly seeking partnership with litigation funders.
Given its prior successes, LITFINCON III is set to offer valuable insights for both attendees and presenters. The next event has already been announced for September 2024 in Beverly Hills. Meanwhile, attendees and those interested in the sector can look forward to the opportune networking and learning platform that LITFINCON III in Houston promises to be. With the final agenda soon to be announced, anticipation for LITFINCON III is already high, not least because of the solid track record set by the previous two LITFINCONs.
Registration for LITFINCON III is set to open soon and is sure to draw attention from industry professionals seeking to connect and learn from the sector’s thought leaders.
