Why attend?

One event. Thousands of brands. Limitless possibilities.

What will you discover?

Brands define us as individuals at every stage of life – as children, they create new worlds and allow us to imagine and escape.

As we grow, they create a sense of identity and belonging: from a favorite team, band or TV show, to the food brands we buy or car we drive. Brands drive trust, recognition and create strong emotions. Licensing Expo is the only global event that allows you to tap into the power of fandom and meet all these brands under one roof for your next product range. 

 

Join thousands of leading retailers, manufacturers and marketers for three days to identify future trends and secure deals with the world’s most influential brands.

Delight consumers and make sure you have the next ‘must have’ product on the shelf.
