Informa Markets' Licensing Expo, the world's most influential event for licensing, brand extension, and IP collaboration, has announced that Sharon Osbourne and Jack Osbourne will appear for an exclusive fireside chat at Licensing Expo 2026.
The session will take place May 19 through 21 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Ozzy Osbourne, known globally as the Prince Of Darkness, remains one of the most influential figures in music, entertainment, and popular culture.
From redefining heavy metal with BLACK SABBATH to building a solo career that became a global phenomenon, Ozzy's influence has reached across generations, geographies, and cultures.
That impact expanded even further with "The Osbournes", the groundbreaking reality series that helped redefine celebrity television and brought an unfiltered, deeply human portrait of rock and roll family life into homes around the world.
Sharon and Jack Osbourne will offer behind-the-scenes perspective on the continued evolution of Ozzy's legacy, the cultural impact of "The Osbournes", and the ways in which brand partnerships can help preserve, protect, and grow an iconic entertainment legacy for future generations.
The conversation will be moderated by Jens Drinkwater, head of licensing at Global Merchandising Services, and Lisa Streff, senior vice president of licensing and brand development at Global Merchandising Services.
The opportunity to gain rare insight from Sharon and Jack Osbourne is an exciting and unique addition to Licensing Expo, says Amanda Cioletti, vice president of content and strategy for the Global Licensing Group.
Ozzy Osbourne's influence continues to resonate with millions of fans around the world, and the Osbournes remain one of the most recognizable families in entertainment.
Licensing Expo 2026 offers an unparalleled platform to engage with top industry professionals, uncover innovative trends, and gain practical knowledge to elevate brand extension strategies.
The event will feature an impressive lineup of renowned exhibitors across gaming, entertainment, fashion, toys, sports and more.
