UNBOUND MINDS: BREWED FOR CHANGE

(De)regulation, enforcement & business-minded IP strategy

LES Benelux YMC, together with the support of its board and LESI, is delighted to organise the 13th Pan European LESI Young Members Congress Conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on November 13, 2026.

In the city of the free spirit, we will explore a timely question: is “(de)regulation” to foster European competitiveness enforceable or desirable for both hard IP and soft IP?

Topics that will be discussed include:

• Updates on EU competition rules for technology licensing: practical implications

• The EU Pharma Package – Incentives and Access

• Knowledge Dissemination, Transparency Obligations & Trade Secrets

• UPC & PMAC

During the day, we will gather at the premises of De Brauw for panel discussions and roundtables, bringing together viewpoints from academia, industry and the investment ecosystem at the crossroads of knowledge sharing, secrecy & (de)regulation.

After a full day of inspiring talks and engagements, we will continue with a unique evening social program.

Interested in becoming a sponsor of this unique event? This is the opportunity to put your organisation in front of a select audience of IP professionals, industry leaders, and academics from across Europe. Sponsorship packages offer valuable visibility and engagement opportunities throughout the day and evening program. Contact us to find out more about the available sponsorship packages.

Please save the date and keep an eye on this website and our social media channels; more details on the program and registration will follow soon.
