Infopro Digital, organiser of the Deauville Preshow will launch the first edition of Direct Sourcing toys & games this October at the Hilton Amsterdam-Schiphol.

Direct Sourcing is a targeted, international, hosted buyer event for the promotion of FOB and private labels using the effective showroom format of the Deauville Preshow Noël. The event offers opportunities for face-to-face meetings and interactions in an easily accessible location in the heart of the European market.

Direct Sourcing is pleased to announce the creation of its Buyers Board; composed of four Key Buyers of acknowledged retailers from four different countries (France, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany) the board will ensure that the event meets the expectations of participants.

Direct Sourcing is proving its attraction as a new one-to-one business event, as both manufacturers, suppliers and subcontractors on the one hand, and international purchasing decision-makers on the other, have already confirmed their interest.

Among the registered exhibitors so far are Addo Play, AZ Toys, B-Sky International, BS Toys, Creative Toys, Make It Real, Van Namen, Wilton Bradley and ZP Alexander.

Pre-registered buyers include Auchan, Cultura, Ellie Biliie, E Leclerc, JoinCo, Joueclub, King Jouet, Ludendo/La Grande Recre, Media Commerce, Rofu, Sunman and Vertbaudet.
