LES Thailand Annual Conference 2022

LIVING IN THE FUTURE

Date and Time: October 6-7, 2022

Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20 (in-person conference)

The phrase “Living in the Future” conjures images not only of what our lives will be like in the coming decades, but also of what our lives are like today, as futuristic technology becomes integrated into our daily lives. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have become accustomed to a new-normal lifestyle. At this Annual Conference, we will explore how technology can drive innovation and create opportunities for the licensing of IP. The first day of the conference will include sessions on smart technologies, the Metaverse and ESG, as well as IP Management in Thailand, and the implications of the TRUIP Act. On the second day, we will engage in intensive discussions about IP Valuation. Importantly, attendees will be joining the first-ever session at an LES Thailand event between IP practitioners in Thailand and Vietnam to discuss their respective IP licensing and technology transfer practices.

Come and join the Licensing Executives Society – Thailand for its Annual Conference on 6–7 October 2022 and hear our distinguished speakers and panelists discuss how to adapt to future trends, and how to manage your IP. Our two-day Annual Meeting will also provide great opportunities to interact with Thailand’s IP commercialization community.
