Licensing Expo Virtual, in partnership with industry trade association Licensing International, revealed two key leaders from Warner Bros. Consumer Products will kick-off Day One in the opening keynote of the free-to-attend virtual event, set for August 24-26, 2021. Pam Lifford, president of WarnerMedia Global Brands and Experiences, and Robert Oberschelp, senior vice president, Global Franchise Management and Brand Product for Warner Bros.
