Today: The Toy Insider’s “Holiday Of Play” 2022 @ Chelsea Piers Current

Greetings readers of the now 2.25 year old enterprise of Ken Pierce Media. I’m here today to share another one of those announcements that you would occasionally see on either of the other websites if I was going to something that I wanted to announce to its readership. However, this particular event finds me working both sides of that creative coin. I’m talking about the one and only Toy Insider “Holiday Of Play” which will be held over on Chelsea Piers in a slightly smaller event space called “Current”. We’ve been here before for this same event and actually, while this past year’s “Sweet Suite” was the return to in-person for that event – the 2021 “Holiday Of Play” was the first time back for this event after the dreadful COVID-19 pandemic. The smaller space is based on the fact that this happening is dedicated to the holiday gift guide selections and not much else. It also has a smaller attendance base by design so it is great to be invited to this one.

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.
