“As the producer of Toy Fair – the toy industry’s most iconic and comprehensive play-focused experience for more than a century – The Toy Association is continuing its long-held tradition of unveiling the latest trends and hottest products in Q1, even as Toy Fair shifts from its former February dates to a new fall time frame,” said Kimberly Carcone, executive vice president of global market events at The Toy Association. “We are happy to partner with Adventure Media & Events to give toy brands the opportunity to spotlight their key drivers for holiday, and to provide media and trend-spotters with a first-look at the products that will be driving consumer toy purchases through holiday 2023.”

Greetings my friends out there in the Ken Pierce Media readership, I wanted to take a quick moment out of the day to let you know that the Media Command HQ will be heading to the Chelsea Piers to participate in the Toy Insider “Sweet Suite” event today. You might recall that this great happening took place in the virtual space for the last couple of years based on the Coronavirus Pandemic, but now they are back and I am so looking forward to the experience. The virtual event allowed it to keep happening which was amazing but after my own work in the COVID safety world, I am so up for seeing people in person again and be done for this one. With the Toy Fair having cancelled the last two of their events it is very safe to say that I have missed my toy industry reps quite a bit. Thank the technical gods for Zoom sessions and WhatsApp to keep us all chatting over the last few dozen months.
