Subject: Proposal to Attend LES Annual Meeting 2026 for Professional Growth

Dear [Boss’s Name],

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to discuss an exciting opportunity that could greatly benefit our organization and my professional growth. I’m requesting your support for attending the LES Annual Meeting 2026, October 18-21, 2026, in San Diego, CA.

The LES Annual Meeting (LESAM 2026), organized by the Licensing Executives Society (LES), is a top event for licensing and IP professionals. It gathers influential leaders, renowned speakers, and innovative minds globally. This conference provides a detailed program on current trends, advancements, and best practices in licensing and intellectual capital management. It’s a great platform for sharing ideas, learning from industry experts, and staying updated on IP innovation.

Here’s why I’d like to attend, and how I believe [insert company name] could benefit from this experience:

  • Trend-focused IP Insights — The theme of LESAM 2026, “Keeping Licensing Classy in San Diego,” promises to equip me with essential skills, knowledge, and a proactive mindset to address pressing challenges. It will position [insert company name] for success by learning from industry leaders who have effectively navigated challenges and uncovering strategies to bolster our company’s resilience.
  • Learning from leading experts — The LESAM 2026 keynote presentations are where licensing professionals from top organizations (speakers from leading corporations, universities, and law firms) will share insights and practical experiences directly related to my job. I’ll be able to learn from real-world case studies of success.
  • LES Courses Offered — For an additional fee, LES offers in-person daylong courses with the LES Academy. They include two tracks: 1) Business Development for those with less than 3 years of experience in IP, and 2) Dealmaking for those with more than 3 years of experience in IP. The modules for each include: Valuation, Negotiation, Wellness Panel and more.
  • Unlocking network value — LESAM 2026 provides an opportunity to establish valuable connections with colleagues in law, technology, and business in life sciences, high tech, energy, academia, etc. These connections can be leveraged to our advantage in the future, fostering collaborations and expanding our professional network.
  • Sharing knowledge — Upon my return, I am committed to sharing the knowledge and insights I gain at LESAM 2026 with our team members who cannot attend.

The current registration rates offer substantial savings (prices go up on Oct. 1st), and I am eager to register and make travel arrangements as soon as possible. You can learn more about LES2026 by visiting: https://les2026.org

I appreciate your support and look forward to attending LESAM 2026 as a representative of [insert company name].  

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
