July 31, 2025 | The Toy Association™ will host the first of seven Toy Fair® 2026 "Exhibitor Academy" webinars on August 14 at 2 p.m. (Eastern), providing exhibitors with the essential information they need to know as they make their plans for the show, taking place February 14 to 17, 2026 at the Javits Center in New York City. Registration is now open.

The initial session, titled “Basics and Beyond,” will help prepare exhibitors for their pre-show, onsite, and post-event experiences with a detailed overview of what to expect at Toy Fair. Exhibitor Kit essentials, critical deadlines, show initiatives, and more will guide companies through planning their booth space. The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session, allowing for exhibitors of all sizes the opportunity to ask what’s most important to them.
