Augsburg Germany and is open to interdisciplinary toy & game researchers, designers,
students and industry professionals. Attendees are also invited to join us on Saturday, 8 August for a special excursion to Nuremberg where we will explore the German Games Archive and be treated to a special tour of the Nuremberg Toy Museum specifically tailored to our conference theme: The Zeitgeist in Toys & Games. The post-conference excursion is free to registered attendees and includes lunch and bus transportation to and from Augsburg.
The 2026 International Toy Research Association World Conference is poised to
shine a global spotlight on cutting edge plaything research, design, and
