In today's episode, I will explain everything about THE event that is known for connecting inventors to pitch their toy ideas to large and small toy companies. People of Play, formerly known as CHITAG, is a weeklong toy fair for industry inventors, manufacturers, and it’s open to the public. With 2020 knocking out all hopes for an in-person fair this year, the CHITAG group, put together a massive innovation summit dubbed People of Play week. This event is designed to keep inventors and toy professionals up to date with the latest in the industry via daily virtual conferences, as well as connect them to plan meetings and pitch ideas much like the original in-person show.
As The Toy Coach, I'll give you an overview of my personal experience with CHITAG, and tell you why I think it’s such a key show that any toy inventor should know about and plan to attend. Then this episode will dive into how this show is going virtual this year, and we’ll chat about the rebrand of CHITAG into People of Play week. Stick around for the end of this episode, because it wraps up with 5 tips on how to make the MOST out of this massive virtual event. And those are tips you can apply to the many virtual events I’m sure you’ve been finding yourself at all year.
