Important 2021 Update
Due to the ever-evolving COVID-19 environment, we have spent the last few weeks soliciting feedback from the US licensing community – particularly those on the East Coast – and because of this information, we regret to inform you that we are unable to run this event in 2021. If you had booked a ticket for this event, you should have received a message about your options; please contact [email protected] for further information.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused but are pleased to share the dates for next year’s event, returning to New York on November 8 - 9, 2022.
