Registration for BRANDmania now open
Preparations for the next edition of BRANDmania are in full swing; interested brand companies, licensors, and agencies can register now for a stand at the largest B2B event for the licensing industry in the German-speaking region via the website. Following the extremely positive feedback regarding its location, the successful platform for cooperation, partnerships, and licensing will once again take place at the impressive Zollverein Coal Mine in Essen from 24 to 25 June 2026.
A Stage for Brands and Licences
In a relaxed and inspiring festival atmosphere, BRANDmania will once again bring together leading figures from the licensing, brand, and retail sectors. Interest is already high. Companies from various segments such as entertainment, media, food, fashion, and the toy industry will be represented. Renowned brands and key players that participated this year have already confirmed their attendance in 2026.
BRANDmania meets Spielwarenmesse
Licensing will also be a major theme at the Spielwarenmesse at the end of January. The first stop for both newcomers and professionals in licensing is the LicenseLounge powered by BRANDmania, located in the NCC West foyer of the Nuremberg Exhibition Center. The world-leading event thus creates numerous opportunities for networking and exchanging ideas on current trends. Valuable know-how will also be provided on both the Tuesday and Wednesday of the fair at the LicenseTalks, presented in cooperation with Licensing International and the Licensing Magazine. International speakers will offer exciting insights into the most important developments in the licensing business in half-hour sessions. On the Wednesday afternoon, the LicenseLounge invites visitors for a Coffee Break from 3 pm, providing the perfect opportunity to make new contacts.
