The Toy Association Brings Back Live Events this September

Details on 2023 Preview & Holiday Market 2022

March 14, 2022 | The Toy Association will bring the toy community back together again live and in-person at its much anticipated go-to-market 2022/2023 event this fall in Dallas, Texas.

Taking place Tuesday, September 20 to Thursday, September 22 at the Dallas Market Center, The Toy Association’s Preview & Holiday Market will serve as a critical stop for retailers looking to fill last-minute orders on 2022 fourth-quarter drivers and scout innovative products on deck for 2023.

“Our Preview & Holiday Market is the perfect opportunity for toy professionals to activate their go-to-market plans this fall,” said Kimberly Carcone, senior vice president of global market events at The Toy Association. “Whether it’s to help end 2022 on a high-note or to lay the groundwork for a successful new year, the event will be the ideal setting for toymakers to host face-to-face meetings with current retail customers as they welcome new business.”

Serving the full spectrum of businesses within the play community, the marketplace will feature a variety of booth options to accommodate private appointments as well as walk-in business: open booths will enable exhibitors to highlight their key holiday drivers for the current year, and hybrid booth displays will provide the privacy critical to previewing next year’s lines.

Exhibitor applications will open in early April. General registration is expected to open in June. Note: The Toy Association’s Loyalty Points system will NOT be implemented during the application process for the Preview & Holiday Market, so prospective exhibitors should look out for clear instructions on the application process this month from their account executives.

Companies interested in participating may contact their account executives for more information. Company names beginning with A–G contact Simon Yung, H–P contact Stacy Liebensohn, and Q–Z contact Michael Lynch.
