Next week (11 November) at the Royal Geographical Society, London, Products of Change will host its annual Conference, gathering together industry leaders, retail voices, and innovators, where the industry’s biggest challenges become practical solutions and partnerships are sparked the shape the future of the sector.

Sustainability is not decreasing in priority for industry leaders, but rather being so embedded into their processes that it is being adopted as the new and right way to operate business, encouraging efficiency, resilience, and innovation. It is setting apart the companies that are committed to the future of the industry.

This will be showcased in a first-of-its-kind panel on the stage, bringing together: Greg Simmons, Moose Toys; Siobhan Gardiner, the LEGO Group; Eszter Csicsai, Mattel; Theron Grim, Hasbro; Anita Majhu, BBC Studios; Candace Hodder, Disney Consumer Products; Marcus Parry, Tottenham Hotspur; and Thomas Sauren, Rights & Brands.

They will explore how sustainability and innovation are being embedded both vertically within their own organisations and across their global licensing partnerships.

The next phase of progress cannot happen business by business. Through the Products of Change Leadership Council and closed EPR Working Group, these organisations are already coming together to share knowledge, align approaches and tackle common challenges – from EPR and packaging to data, materials, circularity and partner engagement.

This candid leadership conversation will explore what we can solve together, how we can make change easier for our partners, and where greater industry alignment can accelerate progress as we move along our pathway to 2030.

Because the next stage isn’t simply about individual leadership – it’s about turning individual progress into collective industry transformation. Secure your place at the Products of Change Conference to be a part of the next evolution of the brand and licensing industry.

The event is made possible by leaders in the brand and licensing industry that pledge their support for this invaluable event and the role it serves in collaborative and tangible sustainable advancement.

Discovery, Natural History Museum, TDP Textiles, Mattel, Fabacus, Brand Licensing Europe, The Wombles, Bravado, RDP Creative, Disney Consumer Products, Worldly, Poetic Brands, Hasbro, Rights & Brands, Teemill, io.tt, Sun City, Rainbow Productions, Qarma, and UK Greetings.
