Hot on the heels of 12,000 licensing professionals uniting at Licensing Expo in Las Vegas last month and a record-breaking Brand Licensing Europe (BLE) in September 2024, which attracted almost 11,000 attendees, BLE returns to London from 7-9 October 2025.
BLE is Europe’s leading event for licensing, brand extension and collaborations. It is organised by Informa Markets’ Global Licensing Group and sponsored by industry trade association Licensing International (LI).
Ella Haynes, BLE event director, said: “This year, BLE will bring together thousands of leading retailers, licensees and manufacturers from across Europe and beyond to connect with around 250 brand owners and agents to power the development of licensed consumer products and brand collaborations over the next two to five years.
“The global licensing industry was revalued by Licensing International at $396.6 billion last year, an uptick of 3.7% over 2023 and, once again, tracking ahead of overall global retail performance. BLE is the premier opportunity to do business with European brands globally and global brands in Europe. If you are a European retailer, manufacturer or service provider looking to do business with licence-ready brands, BLE is a must for your calendar.”
