France Licensing Day & Licensing International Awards is set to take place in Paris on June 27, bringing together licensing players in France for a day of meetings and networking and an evening of celebrations. It will be combined with an evening drinks reception and a look back, rewarding the successes of 2023, with the Licensing International France Awards. Registration for the event is now open.

License Global: What is France Licensing Day & Licensing International Awards?

Matthieu Battini: The event is dedicated to both the licensing community and brand extension in France. It is made up of two main parts. The first part is the day, which is dedicated to meetings between brand owners, licensing agents, licensees and distributors, who are all on the lookout for new partnerships.

The evening is marked by the Licensing International Awards, which will celebrate the best achievements of 2023.
