World`s Largest Licensing Marketplace Adds Four Interactive Exhibitors to RosterNEW YORK--(Business Wire)--With the recent move from New York to Las Vegas, the Licensing InternationalExpo 2009 continues to grow its presence in the flourishing $9.1 globalinteractive licensing industry, highlighted by the addition of four newexhibitors - Konami Digital Entertainment, Nintendo, CAPCOM and Electronic Arts.The four join a host of other leading interactive properties and brands for thelaunch of the show`s new Interactive Pavilion, offering attendees an exclusivelook at "what`s next" in the digital space.

"We are pleased to participate in the new Interactive Pavilion at the LicensingShow," said Careen Yapp, Vice President of Licensing and Business Development atKonami Digital Entertainment. "Historically, consumer products have been createdfor the video game audience. However, the recent mass market success of theNintendo Wii and innovative titles like Dance Dance Revolution, look forconsumer products to target a larger audience and for licensing to begin toreach outside of traditional categories of apparel and accessories." With the interactive realm seeing such success this year, exhibitors are findingnew ways to license out their properties, including:* Atari Games: Partnering with Brandgenuity, this year Atari will have an evenlarger net cast at the Expo as they begin to expand into non-gaming products,such as apparel, domestics, social expression and accessories. * Dimensional Branding Group: DBGhas expanded categories for its clients, suchas PlayStation and first-party titles (Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank, Godof War, Resistance Fall of Men and Paragon) into publishing, apparel, toys, homedécor and extreme sports.
