This unprecedented meeting comes during an important time in the history of licensing. Programming will address fundamental changes in the legal and legislative environment for IP, as well as the importance of IP as a contributor to corporate value. LES President Thomas Picone and International Conference Chair James Sobieraj will oversee a meeting designed to highlight:

  • The latest developments in licensing legal and business issues.
  • Key decision makers from some of the most influential technology-driven corporations participating in The Leaders of Corporate Licensing Panel.
  • Industry-sector specific mini-plenary sessions designed to explore marketplace issues in detail.
  • Timely licensing issues and wide-range audience participation discussion on LES Zeitgeist (spirit of the time).

This groundbreaking meeting will take place at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, surrounded by Chicago’s world-class cultural and recreational amenities. Look for further information in upcoming issues of LES Viewpoints.
