LIMA UK md, Kelvyn Gardner, commented: “The Spring Fling panel debate has become a much-anticipated fixture of our annual licensing education day. The panel ends the formal seminars of the Licensing Essentials Course and brings in guests for the networking party to get the evening off to a flying start.
“Be sure not to miss mixing with your peers, and winning new contacts including more than 50 junior buyers from top retailers including Halfords, John Lewis, Matalan, Morrisons, River Island, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and The Entertainer. Our venue is the famous Long Room at Lord’s and, weather permitting, the fabulous roof terrace. ’
