Industry events that were set to take place over the next few months are being cancelled and in many cases, entirely virtual experiences are taking their place—as seen with Sweet Suite @ Home. This year, for the first time ever, The Toy Insider's Annual Summer Toy Party is going all-digital with Sweet Suite @ Home. Ordinarily, the Sweet Suite takes place in NYC before the holiday season and this year's experience invites people to experience the "ultimate virtual toy party" from the comfort of home.
As a resource for parents, gift-givers and industry insiders, The Toy Insider will be remotely inviting members of the media and digital influencers to preview the newest toys. There's an interactive 360-degree show floor to look forward to, plus live toy demonstrations, product reveals and games and activities to engage kids who are stuck at home.
