Media Guidelines
- Fall Toy Preview is not a media event. The
Toy Industry Association (TIA) does not actively promote this event to
the media, maintain an on-site press room, or administer a formal media
credentialing process. TIA will respond appropriately to media inquiries
that are received.
- Fall Toy Preview is open to the trade, including trade
media. It is the choice of each exhibitor whether to
accept media appointments (trade or other) during the show. Exhibitors
are encouraged to check badges, ask questions about a publication or
broadcast program, or request a card or credentials of reporters who are
requesting permission to interview, photograph, or videotape persons or
products in Fall Toy Preview exhibition space.
Exhibitors who have arranged their own media appointments
need to notify TIA. Badges and access to the show floor
for all media guests (excluding toy trade publications) must be arranged
through a member of TIA’s communications team. Members of the
media may be met and accompanied to their appointment by a
representative of the TIA team.
All special requirements – including live broadcasts, satellite
feeds, cable and electrical hook ups – must be arranged and
pre-approved in writing with Fall Toy Preview show management at least
48 hours prior to execution. TIA may limit at its sole discretion the
locations, times, and subjects for video and audio recordings and
photographs.
Media exposure for current product lines (e.g., Holiday
2012) will not be solicited or supported by TIA. TIA will
NOT facilitate media appointments in Dallas for
products that will be available for retail during Holiday 2012. If an
exhibiting organization is willing to discuss and show product on-camera
that will be new for Holiday 2013, please provide a designated on-site
point of contact (including name, e-mail and on-site phone number) to
TIA’s communications team.
TIA will pass along a list of interested exhibitors to interested media
representatives.
