Licensing University Conference Program
Sponsored by the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers' Association (LIMA), in partnership with Licensing International Expo, the Licensing University conference program holds over 30 classes and seminars on a wide variety of industry-related topics. Courses are taught by active licensing professionals and divided into basic, intermediate and advanced levels of content sophistication (one novice-level session is typically offered as part of an introductory, pre-conference workshop). A single-fee enrollment grants attendees access to every conference session.
Course topics from the 2008 conference program included "The ABCs of Licensing," "Understanding the Legal Side of Licensing" and "Working with Licensing Agents and Consultants" (basic level); "Entertainment Roundtable," "Retail Trends & Forward Thinking" and "Auditing & Policing Royalty Agreements" (intermediate level); "Brand Management for Licensees," "Extending Your Brand Globally" and "Working with International Licensing Agents" (advanced level).
Every year, selected courses qualify as credit towards earning LIMA's Certificate of Licensing. The Certificate of Licensing (CLS) is a year-long program incorporating 60 hours of classwork with industry experience, and can provide the educative foundation for a career in licensing and merchandising.

Famous quotes containing the words university, conference and/or program:
“A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“To the cry of “follow Mormons and prairie dogs and find good land,” Civil War veterans flocked into Nebraska, joining a vast stampede of unemployed workers, tenant farmers, and European immigrants.”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
