Registration Opens for Fall Toy Preview 2018

June 22, 2018 | Toy companies already contracted to show their new and creative product lines to a considerable crowd of global retailers can now officially register for Fall Toy Preview 2018, taking place October 2 to 4 in Dallas, TX.

Produced by The Toy Association, the annual show consistently draws influential mass, long-lead, and specialty buyers to the Dallas Market Center, where they preview thousands of compelling toys and games more than a year in advance of in-store delivery.

Attendee and buyer registration for the event opened earlier this month; to date, buyers from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Hobby Lobby, JC Penney, Michael’s Stores, Party City, Spencer’s, Staples, Target, and Walmart, among many other big-name retailers, have already signed on to attend. Hundreds of toymakers are expected to showcase their new and developing product lines in open, closed, or combination booths and showrooms.

“Fall Toy Preview continues to attract a broad range of global buyers, importers-distributors, wholesalers, and sales reps who are eager to tap into the show’s unique business, trend-spotting, and networking opportunities,” said Marian Bossard, executive vice president of global market events at The Toy Association.

The show is widely known as “the” place to see what’s new and cutting edge in toys and games, as brand marketers and product development teams from toy companies of all sizes present their very best new toys – including educational products, puzzles, action figures, dolls, building sets, and tech toys – for the following year’s all-important holiday season.

Companies that would like to exhibit should contact their account executive. For companies beginning with A-M, contact Simon Yung (646.520.4875); companies beginning with N-Z may contact Leigh Carleu (646.520.4862). Attendee and buyer registration may be completed online.
