The Licensing Awards in 2012 will take place on September 11th 2012 with the venue once again the glittering surroundings of the Great Room at London’s prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel.

Ian Hyder, Director of The Licensing Awards and The Licensing Source Book Europe commented: “The huge success of the 2011 Licensing Awards confirmed to us that the Grosvenor's Great Room reflects the prestige and importance of the event and so fits the bill perfectly for the 2012 awards.”

The 2011’s Licensing Awards ceremony saw over 1,300 retailers, licensees, licensors and suppliers gather to honour the industry’s highest achievers from the previous 12 months. Award-winning funnyman and star of The Inbetweeners, Greg Davies went down a storm as host and the audience enjoyed a truly memorable evening. But plans are already underway to ensure the 2012 raises the bar even further.

The Licensing Awards are owned and organised by The Licensing Source Book, part of Max Publishing. The prestigious event, now in its seventh year, celebrates the very best achievements over the previous twelve months across retailing and licensed merchandise, as well as entertainment, brands, sport and celebrity properties in the evolving world of licensing.
