For 36 years, the Licensing International Excellence Awards have served as the pinnacle of achievement in the global brand licensing industry.
Every year, as executives from around the world converge in Las Vegas at the industry’s largest trade gathering – Licensing Expo – we take a few hours to shine a spotlight on the innovation and accomplishments of our colleagues. In addition to showcasing the year’s best brands, properties, products, retailers and activations, we also celebrate the professionals who are shaping our business by welcoming new members into the Licensing Industry Hall of Fame and calling out Rising Stars.
2020 was a year unlike any other, and it resulted in an Awards show unlike any other too. As the world went virtual, so did the Licensing Excellence Awards, and the result wasn’t half bad (if we do say so ourselves). Best part is, unlike a live show, if you missed the event when it aired in August, you can still watch the recording here any time.
This year, the show will be hosted as hybrid event, live in Las Vegas this August as part of Licensing Expo and streamed online for viewers who are not able to attend in person. Stay tuned for more details.
22 categories means a lot of opportunity to brag, and this certainly isn’t the time to be modest.
