Seminars Unveiled for Licensing University

In anticipation of the upcoming Licensing International Expo, the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Association has announced its seminar line-up for its Licensing University.

The Licensing University runs from June 6 to 9 and includes a free keynote session held on June 8, the opening of Licensing International Expo in Las Vegas. The conference program will kick off with a pre-show state-of-retail session and tour led by Carol Speickerman, a Bentonville, Ariz.-based retail consultant. Program highlights will include getting a brand ready for licensing, retail strategies beyond the top 10, new property introductions, using demographic trends to grow licensing business and deal structures in the interactive gaming and mobile world.

“Licensing University 2010 is our most diverse conference program to date, with many sessions focusing on emerging trends and business opportunities that the licensing community needs to understand in order to grow and thrive,” says Charles Riotto, president of LIMA. “Whether you’re new to licensing or a veteran licensee or licensor, retailer or manufacturer, there are sessions tailored to your needs, many of which are eligible for credit under our Certificate of Licensing Studies program.”
