Organized under the broader umbrella of INDX Shows, the Toys edition is part of a series of expertly crafted events that cater to various sectors, including home, fashion, and gifts. Each INDX Show is defined by its commitment to quality, curation, and connection — values that are particularly evident in the format and execution of the INDX Toys Show.

A Curated Trade Show with Retailers at Its Heart

Unlike mass-market trade fairs, the INDX Toys Show takes a highly focused approach to its format.
