Changes made due to the conflict with the dates of Yom Kippur next year.
UBM Advanstar has confirmed changes to the opening times for next year’s Brand Licensing Europe.
The changes have been made due to the conflict in 2016 with the dates of Yom Kippur.
On Tuesday October 11 – the first day of the show – doors will open to visitors one hour earlier at 8am, while exhibitors will have access from 7am. It will close at the usual time of 5pm.
Show hours will remain the same as usual on Wednesday October 12 – opening at 9am (8am access for exhibitors) and closing at 5pm.
On Thursday October 13, the show will open to visitors at 9am and will close one hour later than normal, at 5pm.
The organisers hope that by extending BLE’s opening hours on Tuesday and Thursday, it will allow those individuals unable to attend on Wednesday, due to Yom Kippur, to still fully participate in the 2016 event.
