Here are just five compelling reasons why you must not miss the LES Annual Meeting on October 14-17 in Toronto:
#1 Keynote Speaker: Dr. Eric Topol, Director, Scripps Translational Science Institute
Dr. Topol, premier cardiologist, genetic researcher, and technologist, will address "Connecting & Collaborating: The Convergence of Life Sciences and High Tech." A leader in the movement to modernize medical treatment through the latest technology, Dr. Topol has been named the Most Influential Physician Executive in Health Care by Modern Healthcare, Doctor of the Decade by the Institute for Scientific Information, and a "Rock Star of Science" by GQ. Watch Dr. Topol in action at TEDMED and see why.
#2 New Innovative Programming: A Crowdsourcing Session on: Carving Out Your Commercial Space - Strategies and Trade Offs
Kathleen Denis of The Rockefeller University and Richard Razgaitis of Charles River Associates will facilitate a new, unique interactive session on how enterprises can best use tools to carve out commercial space. Input from a variety of industry sectors will be solicited from the crowd to help all of us improve our toolboxes, knowing that there is no one right answer in any deal.
#3 Featured Session: Is High Tech Crazy? Are We Experiencing a Patent Bubble?
Hear Dooyong Lee, Acacia, Jonathon Skeels, Davenport & Co., and Joff Wild, IAM Magazine dissect recent mega-deal activity in the high tech industry and tell us what's next and if this paradigm will spread to life sciences.
#4 Featured Session: Benches Unleashed: Judicial Views on Fixing the Systems
Outspoken Justice The Honourable Roger Hughes of the Federal Court of Canada and ever candid Judge Paul Michel, retired Chief Judge of the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, will identify problems and offer up solutions for improved protection and enforcement of inventions in the US and Canadian patent environments.
#5 Opportunities to Connect with Your Peers
