This panel session features IR execs discussing their golden rules for working with inventors, current challenges in the space and the advice they’d give to those new to the world of toy and game invention.

“Blue Marble’s mission is to create products that inspire a love of learning in children – what better way to do that than through gaming, and what better place to find the best ideas than the Mojo Pitch event,” said Ed Gartin, Creative Catalyst for Blue Marble.

“Whether it’s an epic backyard battle in the pool or a brilliantly designed party game, we can’t wait to see them during the Mojo Pitch this year,” said Ed Gartin, Creative Catalyst for Wilder Toys.

“We are really excited to meet new and innovative toy minds,” said Eolo Toys’ Alex Prieto.

“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.

“I can always count on meeting new talent at this event, and the connections from last year have resulted in serious opportunities we have traction on today,” said Jazwares’ David Winter.

“We are looking forward to seeing friends old and new,” said Lansay’s Nigel Dye.

“The Mojo Pitch event is a great way for us to connect with some of the best and brightest new voices in play,” said Hasbro’s Jenn Brees.

“We look forward to meeting inventors from all over the globe in hopes of finding our next great game!” said Gamewright’s Jason Schneider.

“We’re looking for games that deliver exciting and memorable gameplay, yet are simple to explain to our customers,” said Exploding Kittens’ Thor Ritz.
