“This event has become a must attend event for our organisation where we have been able to secure a number of fantastic innovations – across all categories and from all types of inventors,” said Alpesh Patel, VP of Global Toy Design at TOMY.

“It’s an amazing opportunity for us to meet well-known game designers, as well as discovering new and creative talents,” said AMIGO’s Alessandro Montingelli.

A celebration of the industry’s design and inventor talent, among the winners this year are Fuse, Moose Toys and Jazwares’ David Winter.

All three will compete to banish their biggest pet peeves about the world of toy and game design to Room 101, in a session hosted by Mojo’s own Deej Johnson.

Hosted by David Blanchard, GPI’s VP of Business Development, the session will explore the pros and cons of self-publishing.

The Paper Engine team will be discussing how they create their innovative paper builds through imaginative and sustainable means.

The event takes place the evening of Wednesday, June 28th at Kona Kai – a cocktail bar opposite Stamford Bridge Stadium on London’s Fulham Road.
