  •   More than 750 attend industry gathering in Offenbach
  •   High-profile names and informative programme

NUREMBERG, Germany, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- An exuberant mood, enthusiastic guests and exhibitors, inspiring discussions and networking until well into the night: now in its second year, BRANDmate set new benchmarks as an event and brand festival focused on collaborations, partnerships and licensing. In excess of 750 participants from some 330 companies met for a get-together in a class of its own in Offenbach on 21 and 22 June, using the event as a cross-sectoral platform for exchange and networking. More than 2,800 speed dating sessions were arranged through the matchmaking feature on the event website, which gave all participants – whether brand owners or licensees, in retail or marketing – the opportunity to connect in advance of the gathering. The face-to-face meet-ups then took place in the relaxed atmosphere of BRANDmate, where new business ideas were discussed and developed. The guests finished out the first day with a live band, DJ, buffet and drinks at the official BRANDmate party on the Wednesday evening.
