"We are so pleased to be able to offer access to this exclusive content to executives and professionals who weren't able to attend the inaugural NYC Licensing Summit last month," says Tony Lisanti, global editorial director, License! Global. "It really was a not-to-be-missed event, and this way no one has to."

Summit attendees will receive free access to all the videos in the series. Everyone else will have the option to buy individual sessions for $59 or a monthly subscription that offers unlimited access to all released videos for $129 a month.

The first video to be made available is "The Retail Forum" featuring Cindy Levitt of Hot Topic and a joint Q&A session with Gaye Dean of Target. Levitt discusses how Hot Topic evolved from a niche, punk rock retailer into one of the largest purveyors of pop culture merch in the U.S. and outlines 10 ways for brands to build strong retail partnerships. Then she and Dean discuss how they decide which brands to promote in stores and how brands help them stand out in the competitive retail landscape.
