We are looking forward to exhibiting at Brand Licensing Europe where we will officially launch our programme and look to expand our licensing opportunities on a global level.

Running alongside the exhibition once again will be the hugely successful Licensing Academy, featuring keynote sessions from leading industry experts, as well as the License This!
