What our participants are saying
We've been coming to Spielwarenmesse since 1996 – that's 29 years. It's incredible. Spielwarenmesse is still the most important toy show for us.
Henk van den Berg, CEO Berg
For us, the Spielwarenmesse is an absolute must – it remains the central meeting point of the industry. I’ve attended every year for over 40 years and can only say: this is where you meet everyone, and nothing can replace personal interaction.
