Greetings website visits, it is nice to find you returning once more to our little home on the web as I continue along with my findings from the 2017 Toy Insider “Sweet Suite” event. I’m down to the wire with this little adventure and if you’re only just joining me now then you’ll want to click HERE first and see all of the previous chapters. I’d hate for you to be confused and not have a proper path laid out for you. There’s a lot to get to so let’s pick up where we left off yesterday with the second photo of the Princess Cakes.

Exploring The Toy Insider “Holiday Of Play” 2016; Part 1

Back in July, I attended an event called “Sweet Suite” which was a part of the larger “Blogger Bash” conference and was set up by the fine folks at Toy Insider. If you’re new to the website and missed those posts please click through onto THIS LINK so you can learn what it was all about. It was a good time for sure but now we are diving in to another event that they do called “Holiday Of Play”. To give you a better idea of what this one is, I reached back in time to their own website where it was lined out as…

“HoliDAY of Play event is 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.”

The sign in the lobby sent us up to the penthouse of this Manhattan skyrise and when we close up on this one I will make sure to post a visual from “way up here”.  Next up is the “step and repeat” for those who wanted a quick photo op.

Checking Out “Sweet Suite” 2016; Chapter 2

Greetings my friends and welcome back to my continued documentation of the 2016 “Sweet Suite” event which was being held on the Cornucopia Majesty yacht as a part of the Blogger Bash conference.  This was my first time at this convention and my first chapter of this series can be examined on THIS LINK.  Please hit that before you continue along so you have a sense of fluidity.  Based on the age groups involved in so much of these product lines we’ve stockpiled our coverage here as opposed to posting on PIERCINGMETAL.com – In our previous chapter we had left off with the Hexbug folks so let’s continue along with them now shall we.

Checking Out “Sweet Suite” 2016; Chapter 1

Hello there my kind readers. So as some of you might know, I’ve been attending the American International Toy Fair convention for the past six years and generally all of that coverage has gone over to the PiercingMetal.com website where I would focus on the superhero and monster movie geek stuff.  However, with that said I decided a couple of years ago to share additional event coverage on The Chronicles for the vendors and companies that didn’t fit within the context of my Metal and Pop Culture site.  Folks who are interested can click on THIS LINK to open a tag of said content.  All of this leads me to this event being discussed in the narrative before you which focuses on a brand new convention to my eyes called the “Sweet Suite”.

The “Sweet Suite” is considered to be THE BIGGEST NIGHT OF PLAY and comes care of the fine folks at Toy Insider.  This is connected to their “Blogger Bash” event which I shall discuss in a later post.  “Sweet Suite” was all about toys for a traditionally younger audience and instead of in your typical hotel or convention center would be on this beautiful boat called the Cornucopia Majesty.  I was excited because I had not been on a boat since a couple of years ago excursion with friends on the Circle Line and while this was going to be docked it was still cool.

My media badge sported the PiercingMetal branding since I’m more known for that outlet than The Chronicles, but perhaps in time that will change and this one will be as loud a voice as my Music Media one.  Only time will answer that one.  As you can see the badge says “Blogger Bash” and I guess this is because the “Sweet Suite” is only a smaller portion of this two day conference.
