The Sedona Conference is a 501(c)(3) research and educational institute that exists to allow leading jurists, law- yers, experts, academics, and others at the cutting edge of issues in the areas of antitrust law, complex litigation, and intellectual property rights, to come together in conferences and mini-think tanks called Working Groups to engage in true dialogue—not debate—in an effort to move the law forward in a reasoned and just way.
