Today, the event brings together more than 7,800 licensing professionals from all over the world to do business with 260-plus brand owners from across the licensing spectrum.

For 2019, BLE will highlight several licensing categories currently bursting with creativity and potential in Europe, including animation, gaming and esports, heritage and interiors and publishing.
