INDX Toy and Gift Show to move to September from 2024

In response to retailer and supplier feedback, from 2024, the INDX Toy & Gift show is moving from a spring date to take up a new September slot.

The next show will be held on 3-4 September 2024 and is open to all types of retailers.

The move to September was agreed by the INDX strategy group, where suppliers and buyers said that they wanted to move the date to give them the opportunity to view new ranges later in the year due to the congested period of shows in the springtime.

INDX Toy & Gift will now be the only dedicated toy industry show in the Autumn season, and the September date will provide a great opportunity for retailers to take advantage of pre-Christmas buying.

Visitors to the show will also get a first look at suppliers’ early launch new ranges, giving them a head start on their spring 2025 buying.

“The unique proposition for INDX trade shows is that they are ‘curated by buyers, for buyers’ and therefore we are continually reviewing the best time to hold the shows for everyone to benefit commercially,” commented Rosie Marshall, head of toys and children’s gifts at AIS. “With a busy trade show run for the toy sector in spring, it made sense that we created an autumn event that allowed suppliers and buyers to meet, forward plan beyond the Christmas season and maximise annual sales not just seasonal.

“With a broad visitor base which includes leading department stores, standalone toy and gift stores, garden centres, farm shops, and delis, it’s important that the INDX Toy & Gift show supports all year-round trading.”
