Licensing Expo will open its doors from 24 – 26 May to reconnect the global licensing industry at Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
Organised by Informa Markets, in partnership with licensing trade association, Licensing International, Licensing Expo is back after a two-year break to celebrate its 40th live edition, with safety at the heart of the experience.
Anna Knight, vp of licensing, Informa Markets, commented: “While we are still living and working during a pandemic, the health and safety of everyone attending Licensing Expo will remain our number one priority, and this year’s event has been specifically designed to account for varying levels of attendee comfort with a range of options to suit, whether that’s a preference for one-on-one interaction or to maintain physical distance.”
All participants at the show will be required to wear a face mask while indoors and present proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test. Mask wearing will be monitored by the Informa team, who are also recommending participants take a Covid-19 test before travelling to Vegas.
The safety rules will be in place regardless of the Nevada state mandates. Onsite testing will be available at the participant’s expense and can be used to enter the show or to fulfil any international or domestic pre-departure requirements.
Licensing International president, Maura Regan, added: “Health and personal wellbeing remain a top priority for us all. As we continue to review and implement vigilant health protocols during this time, we’re excited for the all-important and safe return to Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.
“Bringing licensing professionals from around the world back together in person affords us all opportunities for new partnerships from around the world back together in person affords us all opportunities for new partnerships, networking, and learning – and a critical chance to move businesses forward. We’re confident Licensing Expo 2022 will bring the industry back together for a long-awaited reunion.”
