The 2025 Products of Change Conference will be held on 5 November and remains the only sustainability event dedicated to the licensing industry.
The event is enabled by a roster of supporting companies, each playing a part in the sustainable advancement of the industry.
The 2024 Conference saw speakers and visitors from some of the biggest names in retail and licensing, such as the BBC, Penguin Random House, Paramount, Warner Bros, Mattel, Universal Music Group, Disney, and the Natural History Museum.
Each year, the Products of Change Conference is supported by an exemplary line-up of companies. This year’s supporters so far are Dreamtex, Difuzed, Fabacus, BBC Studios, Warner Brothers and the Natural History Museum. Join this lineup of companies pledging their support and playing a part in the education and advancement of our industry on its path towards sustainability, by becoming a supporter of the POC Conference.
Last year, there were over 150 social media posts shared in the three months prior to the conference, with graphics and videos of the supporters, generating over 68,500 LinkedIn impressions.
Supporting the Conference affords companies excellent visibility across POC’s extensive and active network, as well as the opportunity to enable an event, which brings together voices and stakeholders from its breadth and depths to work together on the singular, but undoubtedly complex, issue of sustainability.
Some of the conference’s supporters have shared their thoughts as to why it is important for them to be involved.
“Products of Change has our ongoing support at BBC Studios. We believe that we can tackle the challenges ahead by working together, and this forum is a great place to do that,” said Anita Majhu, head of licensing and brands & licensing sustainability lead, BBC Studios.
“Dreamtex are proud supporters of Products of Change and the POC conference. Each step a business takes towards a greener future is a step in the right direction and being part of such a pivotal initiative will aid learning along the way.
“We are excited for this year’s Conference after such insightful topics last year. We’re keen to understand the next innovations in sustainable textiles and how we can integrate these topics into our day-to-day workings in order to support a more sustainable strategy.
“From a more personal point of view, I’m excited to learn more from the POC Young Green Leaders initiative. By implementing sustainable business practices with the younger generation at the beginning of their careers, it will only provide a more positive future for the entire industry,” commented Corinne Duckworth, commercial executive, Dreamtex.
