High Five For BLE

Brand Licensing Europe will remain at ExCeL London until at least 2024, the  show organisers have confirmed.

The dates for the next five years have been set as the following:

* October 6-8, 2020

* September 28-30, 2021

* September 20-22, 2022

* October 3-5, 2023

* September 24-26, 2024

“It’s a great feeling to lock down the dates for BLE right up until 2024,” enthused BLE event director Anna Knight. “We wanted to share this news with the industry as soon as possible so that they can plan ahead.”

2019 sees BLE marking its 21st anniversary, running at its new home of ExCeL London from October 1-3.

The show has grown exponentially since its launch in 1999 and currently brings together over 7,800 licensing professionals from all over the world to do business with 260+ brand owners from across the licensing spectrum.

For 2019, BLE will highlight several licensing categories in Europe, including animation, gaming and eSports, heritage and interiors and publishing. The organisers say that immersive, interactive activations, pavilions and conference content will bring the categories to life and provide unique educational experiences for visitors.
