PAST HALL OF FAME WINNERS

The Licensing Industry Hall of Fame is home to the most esteemed global licensing executives of the last three decades.

These bastions of the industry have shaped our business in ways often too innumerable to count. Every year since 1989, at least one (and sometimes multiple) individuals who have had a unique and lasting impact on the industry join the ranks of licensing’s best and brightest.
