LES BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES In One Place, at One Time, Ready to Deal Tech Fair Exhibitors Business Opportunities Brochure Technology Poster Session Tech Fair Information for Exhibitors Tech Fair Exhibit Floor Plan The LES Annual Meeting now offers multiple avenues to access licensing decision-makers. Exposure begins before the meeting, with logos on the LES meeting Web site linked to your Web site and company profiles in the Power Networking system. While you are learning and networking throughout the meeting, your Technology Poster will reach out to over 1,200 attendees with information about available technologies and licensing opportunities. Use your poster to direct potential clients and partners to your Tech Fair booth on Tuesday where they can meet you and find out more about your technologies or services. Your poster may also instruct potential clients and partners to make a one-on-one appointment with you in the Power Networking Lounge, available Sunday through Wednesday. The synergy created by these multiple avenues of access will maximize your interactions with the right people in the space of just three days. Technology Poster Session LES is pleased to add a new element to the business opportunities at the Annual Meeting – the Technology Poster Session. The goal of the poster session is to make your technologies and licensing business opportunities even more accessible to the licensing world gathered at LES Orlando.  Posters are exclusively available to intellectual property owners offering their IP for license and/or seeking IP through licensing business opportunities.
