Session formats will include panels and fireside chats ranging from 30 to 45 minutes, presented in a presentation style with Q&A opportunities at the end.

To apply, you can submit your proposal through the online submission portal, sharing details on licensing expertise, proposed topics, speaking experience and format preferences.

Submissions will then be reviewed by the Licensing Expo programming team, aiming to respond within one month of submission, with all final decisions being made the end of January 2027.
