Any company that has showroom space in Los Angeles and will participate in 2025 preview activity is reminded to share their listing information to be included in The Toy Association’s outreach to its network of buyers and play professionals.
The listing information will be included on the Association's LA Fall Preview webpage for buyers interested in making appointments with toy companies in the Los Angeles area in September.
