Moving away from its usual September dates, 2023’s Play Creators Festival will take place in June, spanning both in-person and digital events.

The live events will take place at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium from June 27th to 29th. The in-person events will include the Play Creators Meet-Up, the Play Creators Conference, the Play Creators Awards and the Mojo Pitch.

As well as the live events, the 2023 Festival will also welcome the return of the Virtual Mojo Pitch, with the digital event taking place the following month across July 11th, 12th and 13th.

WHAT’S ON…
Play Creators Conference: This year’s conference will unite the industry’s design and inventor community for an inspirational day of talks, panels and networking opportunities.

Play Creators Awards: This relaxed, fun evening will celebrate the recent stellar achievements of both inventors and in-house R&D teams across a raft of categories.

Mojo Pitch: The Mojo Pitch will give inventors and design studios the opportunity to pitch concepts to over 30 toy and game firms, each housed within their own private box at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Virtual Mojo Pitch: Taking place a month after the live Play Creators Festival, the Virtual Mojo Pitch will provide more pitching opportunities on our dedicated digital platform.

More information on conference speakers, award nominations and companies participating in the Mojo Pitch will be announced over the next few weeks and months.
