Sponsor LES to Connect with Today's IP and Licensing Dealmakers

Dear Seth,    We're proud to say that LES is the professional home for licensing and IP dealmakers, and our sponsors have been key to that success. Over the years, LES has done our best to deliver value and evolve our sponsorship program to meet changing needs.    We're pleased that the new sponsorship options launched in 2013 were successful, and we're even more excited to announce that we've just unveiled our 2014 Sponsorship Program.    We'd like to take a moment to highlight the new Industry Sector Partnerships, which offer year-round visibility, an opportunity to moderate at both Mid-Year and Annual Meetings, and other premium level benefits. But there's only one available per sector!   As always, you can choose to sponsor at a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Level, as well as specific events or items, such as the Receptions, Lunches, Meeting App, Hotel Keycards, and Lanyards. We have something for every budget.   LES is your key to visibility in the licensing marketplace - nowhere else can you reach such an engaged group of cross-industry IP, business development, and dealmaking professionals. LES members work with partners they know and trust, and your support as a 2014 Sponsor demonstrates your commitment to the highest standards in the profession. Thanks for your generous support. We look forward to working with you in 2014! Best regards,   Ken Schoppmann  Executive Director LES (USA & Canada) Reach Your Market. Meet Your Goals.
