Properties to watch at Earl’s Court
Bowing to requests by exhibitors for lower prices and a date change, the seventh edition of Brand Licensing will be its last at Earl's Court. Next year, the event will shift to London's Olympia convention complex during the first week of October. Attendance in 2004 was up 26%, but with big players such as Disney and CPLG missing from the show floor this year and a scheduling conflict with Fall Toy Fair in New York, the jury's still out on whether '05 will see the same level of growth. In the meantime, there are plenty of new initiatives and business opportunities to keep the show floor hopping.
