Accelerate your business at Licensing Expo 2027

3 Days. 5,000+ Brands. $300+ Billion in Licensing Opportunities.

Brands define us as individuals at every stage of life – as children, they create new worlds and allow us to imagine and escape.

As we grow, they create a sense of identity and belonging: from a favorite team, band or TV show, to the food brands we buy or car we drive. Brands drive trust, recognition and create strong emotions. Licensing Expo is the only global event that allows you to tap into the power of fandom and meet all these brands under one roof for your next product range.

SEE WHAT PAST ATTENDEES ARE SAYING

“Another incredible Licensing Expo! Over 300 meetings in 3 days, plus the brand summits and networking events before the show even started.   Anyone and everyone in the licensing industry is at this show – brands, manufacturers, retailers and agents.  I don't think you can be successful in the licensing industry and not be at Licensing Expo.”
The Brand Liaison, Steven Heller

“We’ve grown 100x and brought some amazing products and collaborations to market including Star Trek, Ghostbusters and featured in hundreds of articles from The Hollywood Reporter to Variety. And none of this would have been possible without Licensing Expo, we can’t wait for next year’s show! ”
