Licensing in the 21st Century - better, faster, smarter

Photographs, reports and certain presentation materials from the Conference will be shortly made available on this website and meanwhile, information about the workshops, plenary sessions and other business of the Conference can be found here.

London is a city known for its incredible diversity and world famous for its architecture, history and traditions; the ever-changing capital continues to reinvent itself, surprise and excite. London leads the way as a primary city for business.
London buzzes night and day with an unforgettable energy. The constants with their pomp and ceremony are always here – St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard.
“I am delighted that the LESI 2011 conference will be in London, in view of the close ties between my home country South Africa and England and I look forward to another very successful conference. 2011’s conference will be focussed on the new licensing environment created by developing technologies, emerging economies and the internet. Workshops will cover all of these aspects and speakers will talk on the main influences on the business of licensing in the 21st Century, including access to medicines and ethical licensing. I hope you will join me next June and I look forward to greeting you in London.”
Alan Lewis - 2011 President of LESI
“As the new President of LES Britain and Ireland, I am honoured to be able to take over Nigel’s legacy and to welcome you all to London for the 2011 LESI conference. I am enthusiastic about the conference programme that Anne and the team has prepared and that will provide new perspectives on the business of licensing, collaboration and technology transfer in the new Millennium. The programme reflects the strengths of LESI as an international, cross-disciplinary body that embodies practical, industrial perspectives on the licensing process and landscape. I look forward to welcoming you in June 2011 to one of the world’s great business cities, and to sharing real-world practices in delightful surroundings.”
Mark Wilson - 2011 President of LES Britain and Ireland
"Few will need reminding of the business and cultural attractions of
London and its surroundings - all within easy reach of the Continent.
The organizing committee is hard at work to ensure that the programme
will match or even exceed the high standards set by past LESI
conferences, and that the conference will provide an excellent
opportunity to learn, network and have some fun. Make sure you don't
miss out!"
Nigel Jones - 2010 President of LES Britain & Ireland

On behalf of the 2011 Licensing Executives Society International Meeting Committee, we look forward to welcoming you to this great city and providing you with an outstanding conference programme.
