The Toy Association™ is making Toy Fair® 2026 educational programming available, starting March 9 on ToyFairNY.com, LinkedIn, and via email. Content will be on demand and will roll out weekly through May. The virtual learning experience offers a convenient and flexible way to explore essential topics shaping the toy industry.

“Toy Fair University has always been about bringing the industry’s brightest minds together to share insights, spark new ideas, and help companies navigate an ever-evolving marketplace,” said Jackie Retzer, senior director of event management at The Toy Association, producer of Toy Fair. “With this ‘spring semester’ of complimentary, on-demand sessions that is provided as a service to the industry — featuring more than 30 educational sessions led by nearly 90 industry experts — we’re extending the learning beyond the show floor and giving toy professionals everywhere access to the insights, data, and practical strategies shared at Toy Fair.”

The first three sessions include “IP in the Toy Industry,” “Beyond Entertainment: Designing Toys to Meet the Growing Demand for Skill, Creative and Social Play,” and “Your Guide to Licensing and Collaborations with the Key Players in the Toy Industry.” Three sessions will be released weekly.

This summer, The Toy Association will open the application period for toy industry thought leaders to present at Toy Fair University at the next Toy Fair, taking place February 20 to 23, 2027, at the Javits Center in New York City.
