Conferences

Watch for information on All Art Licensing’s Worldwide Creators’ Intensive, a week-long super event in 2016. You won't want to miss this comprehensive live online conference with well-known and respected speakers from throughout the licensing, publishing, entertainment and marketing industries.   

Workshops

J’net loves working one-on-one with creators, as is so evident at these live events. All Art Licensing offers a variety of workshops which are tailored to fit your group’s exact educational needs.  Many workshops can be offered in two length options: one 6-hour day workshop or two 5-hour day workshops.

The one-day workshop is more of an intensive lecture, jam-packed with information which you can immediately use.  The two-day workshop provides everything that is in the one-day workshop, plus more detail in the training sections, as well as significantly more one-on-one time for each participant with J’net. With the two day Workshop, J’net will review each participant’s work individually, in front of the workshop group, and provide specific advice based on the class topic.

J'net has found her workshop design to be an extremely effective way to practice and reinforce the teachings and techniques. You get your specific questions answered and also learn from seeing others coached on their brand development, art licensing and character creation goals. This format is really dynamic, fun and effective with 8-10 attendees, so ten is the limit.
