Brand Licensing Europe is back

Probably the most colourful event in the European licensing calendar, Brand Licensing Europe returns with a new multi-platform format taking place in-person from 17-19 November at ExCeL London followed by an online event on 30 November- 1 December.

This year’s theme is ‘What’s Next’, giving a platform to the people, ideas and practices set to change the face of brand licensing in 2022 and beyond to inspire the industry as it collectively looks to a post-pandemic future.

Almost 170 exhibiting companies are confirmed including FC Internazionale Milano, Rainbow, Panini, ViacomCBS Consumer Products, Hasbro, SEGA, Vivendi, Warhammer, The Smurfs, Penguin Ventures, Banijay Brands, Crunchyroll, Aardman, Manchester City, MGA Entertainment, Acamar, WWE, Fashion UK, ETS Studios, Kate Mawdsley, Withit Studios, Olympique de Marseille, Tactic Games, Start Licensing, Imperial War Museum, Sinigaglia, SCRIBOS, Asmodee, ZSL (London Zoo), FOO Entertainment and Toncar.
