Commercialising Innovation to Save the World

 It’s well known that when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.  Well, not always.

The International Licensing Executives Society is holding its annual conference in Auckland, New Zealand.  It runs from Friday 30 March to Wednesday 4 April 2012.

It is always a good time to visit New Zealand.  It is particularly nice at that time of the year.  There is often a late summer gradually giving way to a mild autumn.

The theme for this year is on how innovation might be commercialised to “save the world” from threats such as disease, poverty, food shortages, over-population and environmental destruction.

Should be a good conference.
