The forum will kick off with an introduction of LIMA’s annual North American Licensing Survey, followed by an overview of major licensing trade shows and include a close up of the world’s largest licensing trade show, the LIMA sponsored Licensing International Expo held annually in Las Vegas. GWC members who have attended many of the shows will share their observations and thoughts in a panel discussion.

Following the forum, a networking party will be held in the same building.

Doors open at 3 p.m. and the forum will run from 3.30 p.m. to 6 p.m.  The party will begin at 6.20 p.m. and finish at 8.20 p.m; doors open at 6.10 p.m.

The forum is free to LIMA members and JPY5,000 for non-members.  The party is JPY4,000 for LIMA members and JPY5,000 for non-members. Pre-registration is required for both.
