Licensing Expo has extended the submission deadline for Ignite Brand Pitches to Monday, April 24. This competition gives exhibitors the opportunity to share their vision with attendees from more than 70 countries around the world. Five finalists with existing licensing portfolios will have the opportunity to pitch retailers, buyers, industry experts, and agents from the main stage of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
“There is high demand at Licensing Expo to curate experiences surrounding emerging and existing IPs, with brand discovery a key reason that attendees come to the show — to seek the next big thing,” says Licensing Expo’s Event Director, Ella Haynes.
Accompanying this opportunity is another competition: License This!
License This! encourages newcomers with no existing licensing experience to submit concepts for the chance to win $7,000 of free exposure. The competition will be judged by a panel of industry experts with the winner receiving a booth at the following year’s expo.
Licensing Expo will take place from June 14-15.
