The event will also feature a timely panel, called “First Steppers–A New Way of Merchandising to Kids Between Nursery and Pre-School,” along with a close look at several key licensing sectors including fashion, music and events.

The second phase of the event will begin at 5 p.m. at Lords Pavilion with the annual Legendary Licensing Debate, followed by the Spring Fling party, which will include drinks and canapés as well as the opportunity to meet with other members of the licensing industry. The networking event is sponsored by Brand Comply.

“In one day, participants will get enough information to understand how licensing works, how to go about

it, the resources they need and who they need to work with–as well as exclusive insights into trends, not available anywhere else,” says Kelvyn Gardner, managing director, LIMA U.K. “Our Spring Fling networking party in the evening also gives people the opportunity to build valuable business relationships, discuss important issues and catch up with contacts.”
