The Toy Insider, in partnership with Woman’s Day magazine, will host the fourth annual HoliDAY of Play event on Friday, October 16, where 120 bloggers, vloggers, and members of the press will meet face-to-face with some of the top companies in the toy industry and get hands-on experience with the best toys on the market.

Guests will be treated to a gourmet brunch while enjoying sweeping views of New York City during this exclusive 2.5-hour event. Toy Insider Mom Laurie Schacht will greet guests with a brief presentation on the top toy trends for 2015, giving attendees the inside scoop on what types of toys will make headlines this year.

After the presentation, attendees will be able to mingle with toy company reps, getting hands-on demos of the hottest holiday toys for upcoming gift guides, reviews, videos, and product roundups. The Toy Insider team will also demo products from its Hot 20, Top Tech 12, and STEM 10 holiday toy lists, allowing attendees to learn all about the products that will sell out in no time this year.

HoliDAY of Play guests will (as always) leave with an awesome bag of swag to review and enjoy with family and friends, stuffed with toys from kids’ favorite brands.
