Women in Licensing Inaugural Event
You are cordially invited to attend a Wine and Cheese Reception organized by the Women in Licensing ("WiL") Committee of the Licensing Executives Society ("LES"). Come and network with other men and women who are involved in every aspect of technology transfer from all disciplines - whether from R&D, legal, licensing, consulting or business development. Learn more about WiL's goals in education, mentoring and networking.
Hear from two keynote speakers who will share their experiences of how they became involved in licensing:
