Other returning features include a sold out Greenhouse area and the ever popular Toy Fair TV, hosted by Anna Williamson and Gavin Inskip.
“We’re set for another busy three days at Toy Fair 2017,” commented Majen Immink, Toy Fair Head of Sales & Operations. “It gives me great pleasure to welcome a significant number of first time exhibitors to the show as well as a high rate of returnees and several companies who will return after a period of absence. I’d like to thank the industry for the support they have already demonstrated and we look forward to welcoming everyone in January.”
All attendees (including media) from any of the past three Toy Fairs will receive a Smart Link containing previous details so need only check, update and submit to receive a bar code email which will be required to gain access to the 2017 show. Visitors who choose not to pre-register or confirm their Smart Link will be required to pay a £15 entry fee on the door.
Register for free at www.toyfair.co.uk from 1 September. For operations and sponsorship enquiries please contact Majen@btha.co.uk.
