I am Jack Friedman, Chairman of the Directors Roundtable. We are privileged to present the world’s leading honor for General Counsel to Henry “Hank” Udow of the RELX Group this morning and thank him very much for giving his time and sharing his wisdom. We are a civic group whose mission is to organize the finest programming for Boards of Directors and their advisors globally, which includes in-house lawyers and law firms. We have never charged anyone to attend more than 800 events over 25 years. Directors have told us that corporations are rarely credited for the good they do. They encouraged us to create an opportunity for executives and General Counsel to speak about the activities of their corporations and law departments. The format for this morning will start Here is the text of the letter: While Hank leads by example, he also has with Hank’s presentation, followed by the shown a great interest in helping students Distinguished Panelists each introducing a On behalf of all of us at the University of pursue career paths that are very different special topic for discussion.

Suddenlink is the seventh-largest cable operator in the U.S., with 1.5 million residential customers in smaller markets in the South, West and Midwest.

The author analyses all drugs on the market between 2005 and 2015, combing through 60,000 data points to examine every instance in which a company added a new patent or exclusivity. The results show a startling departure from the classic conceptualization of intellectual property pro- tection for pharmaceuticals. Rather than creating new medicines, pharma- ceutical companies are largely recycling and repurposing old ones.

It would be surprising, to say the least, if this burst of activity – let’s call it PropTech 2.0 - does not lead to some significant change. No doubt many PropTech firms will fail and a lot of money will be lost, but there will be some very successful survivors who will in time have a radical impact on what has been a slow-moving, conservative industry. How, and where, will this happen? Underlying this huge capitalist and social endeavour is a clash of generations. Many of the startups are driven by, and aimed at, millennials, but they often look to babyboomers for money - and sometimes for advice. PropTech 2.0 is also engineering a much-needed boost to property market diversity. Unlike many traditional real estate businesses, PropTech is attracting a diversified pool of talent that has a strong female component, representation from different regions of the world and entrepreneurs from a highly diverse career and education background. Given the difference in background between the establishment and the drivers of the PropTech wave, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement about the level of disruption that PropTech 2.0 will create.
