Festival of Licensing, the month-long virtual gathering in celebration of the global licensing industry taking place from 6-29 October 2020, has unveiled its Community & Wellbeing programme sponsored by ViacomCBS Consumer Products.
The online programme will feature three complementary elements:
Exclusive wellbeing sessions brought to you by ViacomCBS Consumer Products:
- Family Friendly Dance & Yoga
Drawing from Nick Jr. exercise videos, festival goers will be encouraged to take a break from the serious stuff to have fun and exercise with their kids. - Retro Workout Class
Featuring iconic MTV products in a high energy workout class with a soundtrack that raises heartrates and celebrates the classic MTV of the 80s and 90s; the Festival retro workout will also showcase the ‘MTV MOVE’ pro-social initiative. - Self-Care
A self-care expert from the ViacomCBS Wellness studio will share easy tips on nutrition, sleep and exercise. The self-care session will end with a guided meditation as well as a welcome chance to unwind.
Business mentoring and advice clinics
Festival goers can also take advantage of in-region business mentoring and advice clinics offering legal, financial and career advice. Plus, speed networking sessions will be available to those looking for new job opportunities.
Global charity fundraiser
A large charity fundraiser involving the global licensing industry and beyond will launch very shortly; details to follow. The fundraiser will be in support of The Light Fund, Magic Wheelchair and Licensing International Small Business Global Grants Fund.
Commenting is Anna Knight, VP Global Licensing Group, Informa Markets. “We’re delighted to be working alongside ViacomCBS to bring valuable – and much needed – community and wellbeing content to Festival of Licensing attendees from all the over the world.
“Surviving through Covid has been incredibly challenging for many; whether financially, physically or emotionally. It’s important that Festival both acknowledges this and provides meaningful support where we can.”
