LIMA will hold the Rising Stars Award ceremony at its annual Young Professionals Network party, which will this year be hosted at the offices of Mind Candy in East London on the evening of Thursday 24th July and sponsored by Dependable Solutions. LIMA invites nominations from senior licensing professionals for the junior rising star/s in their team from today until Friday 18th July. Rising Stars nominees must have between one and seven years of licensing experience; exhibit a commitment to and passion for the UK licensing industry; and demonstrate innovation, initiative and leadership in their careers. The Rising Stars Award will be presented by former LIMA board member Bettina Koeckler, SVP, EMEA, Fox Filmed Entertainment 20th Century Fox and LIMA board member and Chief Business Development Officer at Mind Candy - Darran Garnham. The winner will receive one year of mentoring support from LIMA UK’s Managing Director Kelvyn Gardner, which includes four career development meetings, and the Rising Stars trophy. The event will begin at 6pm with a practical career advice session and Q&A with Koeckler and Garnham. This will be followed by the Rising Stars Award ceremony and peer networking. Kelvyn Gardner LIMA UK MD, commented: “This event looks set to be a great evening for young professionals, and I look forward with great anticipation to working with our first UK rising star, who, I'm sure, will offer this old dog some new tricks to balance whatever assistance I can offer to them.” Both the Rising Stars Award and networking party have been designed by LIMA UK to support young licensing industry professionals. Ticket Price will be £10 entry per person – (nomination for the award is free) with drinks included on the night.
