Much more than toys

Spread across 12 product groups, the selection of items on show is almost limitless. Traditional toys are found alongside festive and carnival products, fireworks, lifestyle items, infant & baby articles as well as electronic toys and outdoor products. What they all have in common is that they complement each other perfectly at retail.

Several special and promotion areas at the Spielwarenmesse^® give exhibitors the opportunity to present their products not only at their stands but also in vivid theme worlds.

The Spielwarenmesse offers visitors compact, free talks at the Toy Business Forum. High-calibre international speakers share their practical knowledge about current market developments in the toy sector and the world of retail as well as the latest trends from the fields of marketing, sales and licensing.

Licensed toys are becoming an increasingly important business area for both trade and industry. In collaboration with its partners, the Spielwarenmesse^® offers an extensive insight into international licensed products and popular licensing themes, all in one place.
