Sparking discussion through a series of seminars and lectures, the Licensing Essentials course brought representatives from major U.K. and international retailers to the room for direct insights into the processes, innovations and future of licensing.

  • Mark Templeman (GFK);

  • Tim Collins (The Brand Director);

  • Ian Down (Keystone Law);

  • David Born (Born Licensing);

Closing the day was Licensing International's panel of experts including Aysha Kidwai (The Social Store), Rachel Wakley (Warner Bros.), Rikesh Desai (BBC), Ian Downes (Start Licensing) and Susan Bolsover (Penguin Random House), who answered questions and broke down current issues for a comprehensive look into the world of licensing.
