About Brand Licensing Europe
A European event for licensing and brand extension, bringing together retailers, licensees and manufacturers for the brand, entertainment and art industries.
Brand Licensing Europe 2026
Brand Licensing Europe runs 6–8 October 2026 in London, United Kingdom.
BLE is Europe's definitive event for brand licensing — where entertainment studios, sports properties, character brands and corporate trademarks meet the manufacturers and retailers who license them. The deal flow is the show: retailers scouting properties for product lines, licensees meeting rights holders, and agencies brokering both directions.
It is the European counterpart to Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, and the autumn fixture in the global licensing calendar.
