Date Announced: Products of Change Conference 2025 set to showcase an industry striving for change
The date is now set for the 2025 Products of Change Conference on 5th November, where, once again, the brand and licensing industry will gather to curate and secure the sustainable future of business. Early bird tickets are available now for a limited time until 28th February 2025.
The 2024 Conference saw record-breaking attendance, a dynamic and diverse line up of expert industry speakers, and visitors from some of the biggest names in retail and licensing, such as the BBC, Penguin Random House, Paramount, Warner Bros, Mattel, Universal Music Group, Disney, and the Natural History Museum. Products of Change anticipates another unmissable display of sustainable innovation and collaboration at this year’s Conference.
Returning to the historic and prestigious Royal Geographical Society in London, the 2025 POC Conference will feature a stellar line up of speakers, the POC Sustainability Awards, and ample opportunities for networking among industry peers.
As 2025 marks a pivotal year for many sustainability targets, and a halfway point to the EU Sustainable Development Goals 2030, this year’s POC Conference is especially crucial. It will focus on tools for sustainable business, partnerships and collaborations, material innovations, circular design, legislative updates, and a showcase of the very best practice and accomplishments towards sustainable change.
Helena Mansell-Stopher, founder and CEO of Products of Change, commented, “2025 is the year of opportunity. The systems and data are available, and the knowledge on why we need to change is embedded within industry. We now need to collaborate and share with one another to build the infrastructure of what a sustainable industry can and will look like.
“The POC conference this year will focus heavily on showcasing the business case and wins already being achieved across the market, with material, systems and retail innovations, as we move to meet all our 2030 climate goals.”
The POC Sustainability Awards will be a held for its third year, celebrating the outstanding achievements being made to craft impactful and long-lasting sustainable change in the brand and licensing industry. Last year’s winners included Anita Majhu, BBC Studios; Lisa Foster and Andrew Hajithemistou, TMSW; Maxine Lister and team, Natural History Museum; and members of the Children’s Magazine Forum.
“Products of Change and the Conference are so crucial to our wider understanding and alerting us all to how we can and need to embrace the challenge to make our businesses truly sustainable, not fake sustainable,” commented Rob Goodchild, commercial director of Two Daughters Entertainment, after the 2024 POC Conference.
Early bird tickets are now available, offering 10% off the ticket price until 28th February. POC members can also secure an additional 20% discount when logged into the platform.
