The First Post

First post from me on the new blog. Feel free to comment however you like, whether related to licensing or not. All things rude and offensive will be removed though.
Why are there not more licensing conferences in the UK? Why can't we have an alternative to the Brand License show in October? There's lots happening in the States - even activity now in Poland but little happening here - maybe Advanstar has too large a grip on the UK scene? Some have tried recently but......... We're going to try though - watch for the new European Licensing Association coming in the next few months. Also look out for The Licensing Forum (www.thelicensingforum.com) - a dedicated one-stop shop for all things licensing, plus a business forum that allows comment, posts from you, adverts, job vacancies etc etc - limited only by your imagination. Site not operating yet but it would be interesting to hear any views before we go live later in the year.
This all coming from KDBC but as it's KDBC's blog I figure that it's fine to advertise. Anyone else's competing adverts in any comments will, of course, be deleted by the admin team as soon as they're posted.
