“Come to BLE, that´s the best thing I can say! We´ve had so many great virtual shows and meetings, but now it is time to meet in person again. Make BLE your big licensing industry family reunion! And for those, who are still anxious: I fully understand your thoughts, because we all had to face so many changes and learned to separate and to distance from other people. Now it´s time to reprogram to some great values this industry has. A strong community, human interaction and people, who are exactly like you. It´s about time to leave your work from home spaces and meet these people you missed.” – Peter Hollo, Licensing International Germany 

“After the COVID break, BLE represents a sort of ''New start'' for our industry. I'll be attending the show and I know many Italian professionals are planning to attend. I'm looking forward to seeing them all.” – Roberta Nebbia, Licensing International Italy  

"The Licensing International France team will attend this new edition of Brand Licensing Europe. We are looking forward to meeting our French members and international colleagues. Our licensing industry will be well represented this year with 22 French companies exhibiting and with the travel restrictions easing between the UK and France but also Europe, events are starting again. This is the ideal time to meet all different partners at BLE." – Laurent Taieb, Licensing International France.

This positive news will help to make the international licensing community’s travel to BLE much more straightforward – you can register via www.brandlicensing.eu.
