(Filed Under Event News). Licensing International Expo, an annual event showcasing global brands and properties available for licensing, will be held June 14 to 16, 2011, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

The trade event, sponsored by LIMA (the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Association), aims to unite retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, brand owners and marketers and initiate licensing deals. Licensing International Expo 2010 had 18,000 attendees with more than 5,000 brands from over 90 countries represented. With 130 new exhibitors for 2011, similar attendance numbers are expected.

In addition to networking opportunities and show floor features, attendees can register to attend "Licensing University" sessions. Thirty 90-minute panels and seminars will cover a range of licensing topics for everyone from industry newcomers to veterans. Sessions start at $160 for LIMA members and $185 for non-members.
