Troy, Mich.—January 22, 2025—Michael Stewart, co-founding member and managing partner of intellectual property specialty law firm Fishman Stewart PLLC, will represent the firm on a panel discussion about the role of artificial intelligence in the personalization industry at the International Awards & Personalization Expo. The APA Expo, which takes place February 4–7 in Las Vegas, gathers professional creators, retailers and suppliers of personalized and customized items to showcase the latest in business, technical and marketing best practices and trends.
Stewart will participate on the educational panel entitled, “Making the Most of Artificial Intelligence,” on February 6. Exploring the implications of AI in the personalization industry, the experts will offer perspectives in strategic planning, design, marketing, communications, and the legal arena and share how they use AI in their day-to-day operations.
“I look forward to being part of this salient discussion on how artificial intelligence is transforming the personalization landscape,” Stewart said. “As creators and makers continue to leverage AI to invent, fabricate and serve their customers, it’s important to help them navigate the evolving legal frameworks to ensure compliance and protect creator interests.”
Recognized as a subject matter expert, Stewart is a long-time speaker on intellectual property protection and enforcement. In addition to the APA Expo, he is co-chairing the first ever leadership forum for the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) in California on January 29-30, and attending a Patent Cooperation Treaty Working Group session of the World Intellectual Property Association in Geneva, Switzerland in mid-February.
