As Licensing Expo hit the streets of Las Vegas this week, Friendly Unofficial Networking (F.U.N.) events gave industry professionals the chance to unwind. 

On Monday, June 12, Striker Entertainment, Most Management, Reemsborko, Tokidoki, and Studio2pt0 hosted the F.U.N.day Pool Party in the beach bungalows at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Pool, which was full of networking, frozen drinks, and rides down the lazy river as participants came in and out between meetings.

F.U.N. also gave out Licensing Expo-themed BINGO cards throughout the week. Prizes included stickers, pins, and more. 

F.U.N. is also planning events for San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) next month, L.A. Toy Previews in September, and Toy Fair in New York in October.
