The Gallery, Level 1, MITEC, Kuala Lumpur
The Malaysia Licensing & IP Expo. One day, 150 people, and the licensors behind the characters your customers already love.
The gap
Which IP actually fits your brand. What the rights let you do. What the fandom will forgive and what it won't. Who signs off, and how long it takes.
Those answers rarely live in an inbox. They live with the people holding the licence, and this is the day they are all in one room.
Who's in the room
The floor
01
Five sessions across the day, from people who have licensed, activated and sold with IP, on what separated the campaigns that worked from the ones that quietly didn't. The floor stays open throughout, so nothing on stage competes with your meetings.
02
Walk the floor. Ask about the IP, the rights, the fees and the timeline, directly to the people who own it. No gatekeeping, no distributor telephone game.
03
Our matching app shows you who else is in the room and lets you set meetings around everything else you want to see. Arrive with a plan, not a stack of name cards.
The programme · Thursday 19 November
The forum runs on the hour and clears between sessions, so the floor and your booked meetings never compete with the stage.
A single licensed activation walked through in full: what was signed, what it cost, how long it took and what it sold.
Minimum guarantees, royalty rates and upfront fees, and what a licensor expects a brand to commit.
Approval rounds, rejected artwork and late territory restrictions: everything between signing and shelf.
What makes a fandom celebrate a collaboration or turn on it, and how fast it gets read in public.
Sell-through, footfall and price premium: what the collaboration did after the campaign window closed.
Timings subject to final confirmation.
Anyone can rent a hall.
The hard part is what happens inside it.
What this becomes
Kickoff at MITEC. 150 guests on the floor. The founding room.
The main show, alongside Nijigen, Malaysia's largest ACG event. Full exhibition scale.
The fixture on Malaysia's licensing calendar. You were there first.
Before you ask
Brand and marketing teams, agencies, retailers, distributors, media and creators who want to work with licensed IP, plus the licensors themselves. If your job touches what goes on a shelf, a screen or a shopfront, you belong here.
It is aimed at the trade rather than the general public, and the floor holds 150. Registration is open on the matching platform: create an account, complete your card, and you are in the room. The March 2027 main show at Nijigen opens far wider.
Attending is free for the kickoff edition. Exhibitor and sponsor packages are separate; ask us for the rate card.
A booth on the floor, a profile on the matching app, and direct access to the brand and agency guests. Message any contact below and we will send the exhibitor pack.
It is where you register, and where the room is organised. You build a short card: who you are, what you want, what you offer. It then shows you who fits, flagging the people whose needs match yours in both directions. You book meetings into slots that run alongside the forum, and both sides get a calendar invite. On the day you simply work your list.
The Gallery, Level 1, MITEC, Kuala Lumpur, Thursday 19 November 2026. Doors at 10am, close at 4.15pm. Registered guests get the full programme and timings by email.
Registration
Registration runs on the event's business matching platform. It is your RSVP and your meeting diary in one.
Free to attend. 150 seats on the floor, so the earlier you register the better.
Email and password, then confirm your address. Two minutes.
Who you are, what you are looking for, what you can offer. The room stays closed until your card is done, so nobody browses anonymously.
See who fits both ways, pick a slot around the forum programme, and get a calendar invite.
