Play Creators Festival

“Some of our successful brands have come from the inventor community and we are ready to embrace brilliant new ideas,” said Alex Lopez Muñoz, Innovation Engineering Manager & Inventor Relations at IMC Toys.

“The level of creativity always impresses and dedicating this time to concentrate on new innovative ideas without other distractions is always a positive experience,” said Richard Wells, Managing Director for University Games.

“This event provides us with the invaluable opportunity to witness new and exciting concepts that are shaping the future of our industry,” said Ogeday Samatli, Director at Entertoyment.

This year’s Play Creators Awards will take place on Tuesday, June 25th at London’s Under the Bridge, as part of this year’s Play Creators Festival.

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

The Op’s Tony Serebriany, PlayMonster’s Dianne Lauble and Jazwares’ Magdalena Eichhorn will discuss how they approach presenting – and championing – inventor concepts internally.

“We look very much forward to the pitches and seeing great new concepts that hopefully can result in some winning products,” said Floor Doggenaar, Director of NPD, Innovation and Sustainability at the Jumbo Group.

“New connections are made, existing relationships are strengthened – and it’s straight up just loads of fun!” said Angus Walker, Hasbro’s Head of Inventor Relations and External Innovation.

“We look forward to the rare magic that happens when we meet face to face and rally around our valuable, creative, important world of play,” said Dianne Lauble, Director of Inventor Relations at PlayMonster.

“The Mojo Pitch – coupled with the Virtual Mojo Pitch the following month – solidifies the Play Creators Festival as one of the more impactful events all year,” said Tony Serebriany, Senior Director of Inventor Relations & International Sales at The Op.
