Organisers of the 70th Spielwarenmesse Toy Fair are encouraging retailers and buyers to start thinking about their travel and accommodation arrangements now, with just over 200 days to go until the 2019 show takes place.
A recent newsletter encouraged visitors to start making plans now, in order to take advantage of any potential offers available for rail and flight tickets, the Partner Hotel Programme and AirBnB accommodation. There are a number of tips on the Toy Fair website to help with making travel plans and booking accommodation deals.
The Nuremberg Toy Fair – which is growing its party section significantly for next year – will be celebrating its 70th year in 2019 and show organisers are going out of their way to make the anniversary year special for exhibitors and visitors alike.
The Spielwarenmesse website has already been updated with information for the 2019 show, with a floor plan showing the new ‘activity area’ in Hall 8 which has been added to the party trade sector in Hall 9, officially named Festive Articles, Carnival, Fireworks.
The information sheet for party trade exhibitors looking to showcase their products in this space has also been refreshed, with up-to-date figures showing that last year Hall 9 included 262 exhibitors from almost 35 different countries. Of these, more than 91% said they would exhibit again.
Next year’s show will run from Wednesday 30 January – Sunday 3 February, 2019.
