The Brooklyn Expo Center Event Space Has Apparently Closed Its Doors

March 31, 2022 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

While doing some Event updates on the calendars for both PiercingMetal and “The Chronicles” of Piercing Ken, I saw that one of the upcoming happenings had announced a last-minute venue change due to the closure of the Brooklyn Expo Center. Shocking news for sure and when I did a quick Google search for something to confirm this I found absolutely nothing. I then checked another event that usually followed this one and they said they were looking for a new event space so while nothing was out there it would appear that the Brooklyn Expo Center had shut its doors.

These factors include, but are not limited to, extended lead-times in production supply chain and sourcing and evolved retailer purchasing cycles. The findings were gleaned from multiple member surveys and research work done by consulting firm mdg as part of a multi-year long process to “reimagine” the future of Toy Fair.
