Anime licensing is evolving fast, and the conversations at the inaugural Anime NYC XTracks Licensing Summit made that clear. Hosted at the Javits Center in New York City, the summit brought together industry leaders to discuss the continued growth of anime, the power of fandom, new opportunities across consumer products and retail, and what it takes for brands to authentically connect with today’s audience.
Our own Ted Larkins was proud to serve as the MC for the event, helping guide a great lineup of conversations around where anime licensing is headed next. It was a great day of insights, connections and an exciting look at what’s ahead for the category.
