‘Supply Chains, transportation and toys: thoughts into the future’, which takes place on 10th December, will be moderated by Toy World’s John Baulch. 

At a time when toy companies are meeting new supply chain challenges, the British Toy & Hobby Association, Toy World Magazine and Toy Industries of Europe are teaming up to bring readers an informative panel discussion that will look into the future and rethink what’s possible on 10th December at 14.00 GMT (15.00 CET).

This online event will be a unique opportunity to hear from supply chain logistics experts what the future trends may hold for shipping and other transport modes and how toy makers can ensure they are ready to withstand continuing change. The discussion will be moderated by John Baulch, publisher and editor-in-chief of Toy World Magazine, who will field the most urgent questions affecting manufacturers, retailers and licensors at the moment.
