The Toy Association, producer of Toy Fair New York, the
largest toy, play, and youth entertainment marketplace in
the Western Hemisphere, has announced that the 118th
edition of the show will take place at the Jacob K. Javits
Convention Center from September 30 to October 3,
2023 in New York City.
The findings for “reimagine” the future of Toy Fair
As previously announced, The Toy Association’s Board of
Directors, comprised of executives from companies of all
sizes, made the decision to shift the tradeshow’s timing
to fall from February based on a number of factors, many
of which were accelerated by the pandemic. These factors
include, but are not limited to, extended lead-times in
production supply chain and sourcing and evolved retailer
purchasing cycles. The findings were gleaned from
multiple member surveys and research work done by
consulting firm mdg as part of a multi-year long process
to “reimagine” the future of Toy Fair.
“For more than a century, Toy Fair has brought together
global buyers, sellers, importers, inventors, licensors,
entrepreneurs, media, and everyone else with a stake in
the play business – a legacy that we will continue while
moving forward with a reimagined show in the heart of
New York City that best serves all audiences relying on
Toy Fair to advance business in a rapidly evolving retail
and manufacturing environment – and tap into New York’s
unique position as a finance and media hub,” said Steve
Pasierb, president & CEO of The Toy Association. “With
the dates for Toy Fair New York 2023 now set, businesses
have ample time to plan for what is sure to be an exceptional
and much-anticipated show!”
Continue to serve the industry
The Toy Association continues to serve the industry and
will hold a 2023 Preview & 2022 Holiday Market this September
in Dallas, TX, where retailers can shop this year’s
holiday must-haves and preview innovative product for
next year. Exhibitor applications open Tuesday, April 5 for
priority placement; the general application period for all
sellers opens Monday, April 11.
“The Preview & Holiday Market will help toy professionals
bridge the gap between now and Toy Fair New York as
they activate their go-to-market plans this fall,” added
Kimberly Carcone, senior vice president of global market
events at The Toy Association. “Joining the industry in
person this September 20-22 to preview the latest trends
impacting toys and play will help end 2022 on a high-note
and lay the groundwork for a successful new year!”
