Come to the city by the bay as we bridge the gap of converging technologies, predicted to be the next technology revolution. The city of San Francisco is adjacent to the largest concentration of technology companies in the United States. It was just a matter of time before biotechnology, nanotechnology and centers of information technology would converge. The meeting venue is at the heart and pulse of San Francisco the landmark Westin St. Francis Hotel. The hotel is located on Union Square that hosts a who's who of world famous stores and a short walk to some of the world's best restaurants. From the front door, you can catch the Cable Car to some of San Francisco's best-known sights. This meeting will address the convergence of three technologies and how they will affect numerous industries, from electronics and new materials science to pharmaceuticals and patient specific therapies. What are these technologies? How are they converging? How will it affect the future of our business endeavors? What are the implications for licensing and intellectual property? These questions and more will be addressed at our 2004 LES Winter Meeting in The City by the Bay.
