    IP and licensing professionals today are dealing with a period of unprecedented change in rapid technological breakthroughs, economic uncertainty and policy shifts as the landscape of innovation, strategy, and deal-making is evolving faster than ever. LES-SVC's 22nd Annual Conference brings together the leaders, innovators, and deal makers shaping the future across AI, semiconductors, life sciences, and emerging technologies. This full-day event will convene leading professionals across the innovation ecosystem to explore the critical trends at the intersection of strategy, policy, and capital that are driving innovation forward.

    Attendees will gain insights from expert panels and discussions covering the latest developments in IP licensing, funding strategies, policy landscapes, and deal-making practices across sectors. Beyond the sessions, networking breaks throughout the day provide valuable opportunities to connect with a diverse community of innovation and IP professionals. We look forward to you being part of this exciting conversation about navigating innovation in the age of acceleration.
