Inventors will be able to pitch concepts to Melissa & Doug at this year’s Virtual Mojo Pitch event.
The Virtual Mojo Pitch event takes place digitally across July 11th, 12th and 13th.
“As the number one pre-school brand for wooden and sustainable toys, Melissa & Doug is thrilled to return to the Virtual Mojo Pitch,” said Sofia Dumery, Senior Vice President of Design at Melissa & Doug.
“We’re always looking for ways to expand open-ended play, and were excited with the breadth of inventors at last year’s Mojo. We can’t wait to see what 2023 delivers and how we can partner with the inventor community to bring long-lasting, sustainable toys to the industry.”
