Brand Licensing Europe 2022 opens online visitor registration

Online visitor registration is now open for this year’s Brand Licensing Europe show.

Taking place at ExCeL London from September 20th to 22nd, BLE boasts three days of deal-making, networking and trend spotting as retailers and manufacturers discover brands across Europe available for license.

Over 120 companies are already confirmed to exhibit, including the likes of Paramount, Warner Bros, Mattel, Beanstalk, NBCUniversal, Hasbro, National History Museum, FC Barcelona, Ubisoft, SEGA, Yale University and The National Gallery.

This year’s BLE theme is fashion, which will be woven throughout the show’s content, including daily fashion shows on the central catwalk, inspirational product showcases, a high-profile keynote and fashion-focused conference sessions.

“It was essential to bring BLE back as an in-person event last year – this industry is highly creative and collaborative and relies on face-to-face networking as well as the ability to experience brands first-hand so we can’t wait to return even stronger this September,” said Anna Knight, SVP of Licensing at Informa Markets.

“We saw some great quality attendees there – and at Licensing Expo last month – including H&M, Pull & Bear, Primark, Asda, and so many more, which shows the strength and growing appetite for brand collaborations and licensing. For 2022, we can’t wait to bring the industry back together again and help to drive the conversations that lead to the creation of innovative new products that consumers love.

“This year’s fashion theme aims to showcase collaborations first-hand and will let retailers and licensees experience brands and products in a more meaningful, engaging way.”
