The Toy Association™ Launches Toy Fair® University Content Series this Summer

May 9, 2025 | The Toy Association™ is making all Toy Fair® 2025 educational programming accessible to all toy industry professionals through on-demand videos captured from the Toy Fair University stage. Starting June 2, content will roll out weekly on ToyFairNY.com, LinkedIn, and via email, and will continue through August. The virtual learning experience offers a convenient and flexible way to explore essential topics shaping the toy industry.

“With a lineup of more than 20 sessions, featuring both 20-minute solo speaker presentations and 40-minute panel discussions, Toy Fair University covers a diverse range of subjects,” said Jackie Retzer, director of event management at The Toy Association, producer of Toy Fair. “From the latest tech trends to licensing, brand protection, design sustainability, and more, these sessions guide participants through crucial industry insights, allowing them to learn at their own pace and expand their expertise.”

The first two sessions, to be released on June 2, include “Beyond Chatbots: What Lies Ahead for Kids and AI” and “Toy Package Design: Mass vs. Specialty Markets.” Two sessions will be released weekly and content will be regularly updated on ToyFairNY.com throughout the summer.

In June, The Toy Association will open the application period for toy industry thought leaders to present at Toy Fair University at the next Toy Fair, taking place February 14 to 17, 2026 at the Javits Center in New York City.
