Attempting to connect researchers with toy, game and play material publishers, we’ve collected these links to associations of:
- toy publishers
- game publishers
- play publishers
from around the world.
Toy Fairs and game conventions are also a valuable way to meet with publishers and discover upcoming product releases and discover new trends in the industry. We include the important world toy fairs and game conventions in our conference calendar of events.
If you feel that we’re missing an association or organization or would like to add your own, please contact us and we’ll be happy to add them to the list.
