Virtually Attend the 2023 Licensing Expo With Dean

In 2023, the Licensing Expo is being held June 13-15 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. I will be attending.

This is a virtual way to go along with me. Low Tech, but virtual.

I will post a few videos here about my process of signing up, getting ready, making appointments, and so on. I will be talking about my thinking about this year's expo, the planning for next year's expo and maybe having a booth, and so on.

And also I will talk a bunch a bout why this is worth attending for every indie publisher.

I will walk you through all the process of getting there and your badges and so on on the day before.

Then each day of the conference I will take a ton of photos and videos to load up here about what I saw, nifty ideas for licenses, people I talked to, and so much more. Those three days of the actual convention will be jammed packed here. Most will go up after I get home every evening.

And then for a few days afterwards I will talk about the value, the connections I made, what I learned, and a ton more.

So you can attend the 2023 Licensing Expo with me. (And Kris, of course, as well, but I will be doing all the talking and posting here.)

If you have been thinking and hearing about the Licensing Expo, this is the way to get a real sense and flavor of it. And learn a ton in the process.

Join me.
