The second annual NYC Licensing Summit, taking place March 2-3, will welcome executives from more than 200 of the licensing industry’s leading companies, and a series of new networking tools will help attendees connect with each other before and during the event.

The NYC Summit app, powered by Bizzabo and sponsored by Boy Scouts of America, features profiles of all registered attendees and allows current registrants to send messages to introduce themselves and set up time to meet. The networking features of the app are available only to current registrants. Executives who have already purchased tickets for the event can access the app now: just download the Bizzabo app and search for NYC Licensing Summit to get started.

The Community Networking feature is also available to current registrants on the NYC Summit website at www.licensemag.com/nyc-summit.

Additionally, the NYC Summit has moved to a larger venue this year–the Marriott Marquis in Times Square–which will allow more space for mingling and meet-ups. The large foyer of the hotel will feature a Business Lounge and charging station, sponsored by FabNY, as well as Wifi connectivity throughout.
