This year’s Play Creators Conference is taking place at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium on Wednesday, June 26th.

“The Mojo Pitch is hands down one of the best annual events in the toy industry,” said Erik Quam, Vice President of New Product and Business Development at Smart Toys and Games.

Erik Quam – inventor relations guru at Smart Toys and Games – on their secret sauce.

“To be part of the Smart Toys and Games family – an industry-leading team dedicated to challenging the minds of multiple generations – is so exciting,” said Quam.

The session features Mark Carson (Co-Founder at Fat Brain Toys), Erik Quam (Director of Product Development at Fat Brain Toys) and Dimpl creator Adam Carson (Industrial Designer at Fat Brain Toys).

“I anticipate our participation in the Mojo Pitch for the third year in a row will provide nothing but a bounty of fresh ideas, concepts and new partnerships,” said Erik Quam, Director of Product Development at Fat Brain Toys.

Interviews with David Winter, Richard C Levy and Tanya Thompson all feature in the top ten.

How has lockdown changed how toy and game inventors pitch their concepts? What are some of the pros and cons of showing off ideas virtually? And what impact has the pandemic situation had on how inventors fuel their creativity? All this and more is explored in our ‘Pitching in Uncertain Times’ panel.

The session will be chaired by Erik Quam, Director of Product Development at Fat Brain Toys.

As the inventor-relation guru at Fat Brain Toys, Erik Quam is known for his openness and accessibility. We ask him why he works so closely with inventors to build great ideas, relationships and products.
