The youngest woman on BBC’s Dragons’ Den will present the day two keynote at 2024’s Brand Licensing Europe.

Sara Davies will present at 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 25, for a fireside chat with the Global Licensing Group titled “Crafty Licensing: Transforming a business through brand licensing.” She will speak on her personal business journey, growing Crafter’s Companion into a global business.

We know how important innovation and product development are to retaining our loyal customers throughout their crafting journey as well as the role they play in reaching new pockets of customers to continually expand the business. Brand licensing has been a key tool in this strategy, and I can’t wait to share insight into our experience and meet other retailers, manufacturers, and brands at BLE in September.
