A tapestry of culture and history
Madrid resonates with the echoes of its storied past.

The city's numerous museums, including the renowned Prado Museum and Reina Sofía, house timeless masterpieces, offering glimpses into artistic genius across ages.
A hub of innovation and progress
Beyond its historical treasures, Madrid thrives as a contemporary hub of innovation and progress. Boasting a burgeoning startup scene and a thriving business landscape, the city exudes a magnetic energy for forward-thinking minds.
Amidst the cobblestone streets, hidden in the skyscrapers of modern districts, lie the offices of trailblazing law firms and intellectual property experts shaping the future of their field.
A culinary adventure
Prepare your palates for a culinary journey through Madrid's gastronomic delights. From the bustling markets bursting with fresh produce to the cosy taverns serving delectable tapas, Madrid offers an array of flavours to tantalise every taste bud.
Savour authentic Spanish cuisine while engaging in lively discussions and networking opportunities at some of the city's finest eateries.
Embrace the experience
As we convene for FICPI's 22nd Open Forum, let Madrid inspire us. Let us embrace the city's spirit of innovation and creativity as we delve into the intricate world of intellectual property law. Let our discussions and collaborations echo through the streets, leaving an indelible mark on our collective pursuit of excellence.
Welcome to Madrid, where tradition meets innovation - a city pulsating with endless possibilities and the perfect setting for our intellectual discourse.
As one who has attended many similar conferences over the past quarter-century, I hope that you believe me when I say that the planning and preparations for the Open Forum are among the very best and most exciting I have experienced...
