Applications to speak at this year’s BLE close Friday 31 July, with just a few spots remaining in a jam-packed agenda
Brand Licensing Europe organisers have issued its last call for speakers, with applications closing in just two weeks on Friday 31 July.
“This is the first time in 27 years BLE has invited the industry to submit speaker proposals and it’s proving incredibly popular,” said BLE’s Event Director Ella Haynes.
“We’ve had 61 applications to date in addition to the outreach that we do each year, and this year’s conference agenda is filling up quickly with only a few spots remaining. We will start announcing the programme – including plans for two not-to-be-missed keynotes – from August once everything is locked in, so watch this space.
“A reminder from me, registration is open and the Event Planner is live, so there’s no better time to sign up and start scheduling your BLE calendar to make sure you get the most from this year’s show.”
Interested applicants are invited to find out more at brandlicensing.eu/about/call-for-speakersand complete the online form.
Themes attendees can expect to see on this year’s programme based on industry trends and customer feedback include category focuses on music, museums and heritage, food and beverage, and character and entertainment. There will also be big name keynotes, trend and forecasting, insights on European retail, and a series of educational panels covering everything from working with agents to breaking into new and emerging territories.
“We are looking for really engaging speakers who have never been on the BLE stage before. If that sounds like you, get your applications in before 31 July, or we can’t promise you won’t be suffering from some serious FOMO at the show in October,” Ella added.
Brand Licensing Europe is the only pan-European annual event dedicated to licensing and brand extension. This year, the event takes place 6-8 October at Excel London and registration is now open.
