Licensing Expo Heads to MAGIC

Licensing's top trade show pays a visit to MAGIC to focus on fashion.

After hosting its most successful show ever in June, Licensing Expo is returning to Las Vegas for the MAGIC fashion trade show.

Licensed apparel is big business, accounting for $57 billion in retail sales in 2014 and making up 22 percent of the $259 billion global brand licensing sector, according to the License! Global Top 150 Global Licensors report.

Throughout the event, Licensing Expo will present an information hub featuring details on how to enter the world of licensing and early announcements about Licensing Expo 2016.

"We are delighted to be participating in our sister show MAGIC to help educate attendees and exhibitors on how to initiate or grow their licensing business," says Jessica Blue, vice president, Licensing Expo. "Apparel/accessories/footwear is the largest category for licensing, and we are looking forward to connecting with brand owners and manufacturers to answer questions and offer support.”

Licensing Expo will be located at booth 23090 within The Collective trade show at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
