The 2026 edition of the North East Toy and Gift Show (NETS) is scheduled for August 30–Sept. 1, 2026, at the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The show was created in 2024 as an economical way for specialty retailers to review full lines of products and interact directly with vendors, without having the expense of going to New York or Atlanta.
Because of the central location, retailers are able to bring their staff to learn about products, and vendors are able to garner direct feedback on their products and programs. Because the show runs at the start of the 4th quarter, retailers are ready to buy, and vendors are ready to ship.
This year’s event features the 5th Annual Game and Kit Night and special networking events. For more information, visit www.netoyshow.com.
