This year’s Brand Licensing Europe is the biggest show to date. In attendance are more non-UK exhibitors than previous years. The new “brands” section is located on the upper floor and has space dedicated to companies that solely appeal to children as well as those for a more adult audience.

The main floor of BLE consists of an abundance of major brands in the character, film, TV, and entertainment licensing. The show is expecting to see a burst in opportunities from the digital world. There will be exhibitor parties on-stand and outside the show venue in the evening, as well as other events and networking opportunities.

BLE 2013 is shaping up to be a success!
