Fall Toy Preview week will begin on September 26 with Women in Toys, Licensing & Entertainment’s (WIT) and Walmart’s WIT Empowerment Day at the Dallas Market Center, according to the Toy Industry Association (TIA).
Empowerment Day’s agenda is still being finalized, but already includes various networking events, keynote addresses from industry leaders, panel discussions, information sessions, and private product pitch opportunities with Walmart and toy companies such as Hasbro, Spin Master, Moose Toys, and Jazwares.
The expert panels will cover “Walmart Buyers,” “Financial Alternatives with Indiegogo,” “Toy Safety,” and more. Informational sessions will be held in small, rotating groups moderated by industry leaders who will discuss crowdfunding, financing, patents and trademarks, packaging, manufacturing and distribution, marketing, and public relations. Additional speakers and keynotes will be added to the agenda in the coming weeks.
Empowerment Day offers free admission to WIT members who are registered to attend Fall Toy Preview from September 27 to 29. Certain activities, such as the pitch and informational sessions, are exclusive to WIT members. Keynotes, panel discussions, and the event’s cocktail and networking hour, taking place at the Market Center, are open to all Fall Toy Preview attendees.
