How The Influentials Works

You must complete at least one nomination from the list above. Nominations can be for individuals across any brand under the condition those individuals are active within the brand licensing business or community. Nominations can also be for your colleagues and even for yourself. We suggest sharing this survey with partners and colleagues, as both the quantity and quality of votes will be taken into consideration.

License Global will review nominations after the survey deadline (Sept. 22) and release a shortlist of nominees selected by leaders from across the Global Licensing Group (Oct. 25). Once the shortlist is released, winners will then be selected and published, both in person at Brand & Licensing Innovation Summit (Nov. 3) and online via License Global (Nov. 6).
