I am delighted to invite you to join the LES community in its signature event for 2009 - the LES International Annual Conference - hosted by LES Philippines in Manila during 7th - 10th June 2009.

Ever since hosting rights were granted to LES Philippines in 2005, I personally have been looking forward to this Conference with great anticipation: to experiencing the renowned Filipino hospitality, to witnessing first hand the maturing of a dynamic LES Society in LES Philippines, and to participating in a stimulating educational, networking and social program.

I hope you will take this opportunity to join us in sharing the LES spirit in Manila and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible during the Conference.

Regards,
Adam Liberman
President
LES International

It is with great pride that I invite you to participate in the 2009 LES International Annual Conference.

With the world turning to the vibrant economies of Asia, the staging of the 2009 LESI Annual Conference in our country, with the theme, “Licensing in Emerging Economies”, could not have come at a more opportune time. We expect not only unprecedented attendance from these booming markets, but will feature in our substantial and balanced educational program experts from these very countries.

We guarantee the same high quality plenary sessions and workshops that you look forward to at any LESI meeting, as well as unparalleled networking opportunities.

Our Barrio Fiesta theme evening will be one of the highlights of our social program, where we hope to give you a glimpse of how Filipinos celebrate in grand style.

See you all in the Philippines for what we promise to be a distinctive and unforgettable experience!
