DALLAS – Registration is open for the 2020 Juvenile Product Manufacturers Best in Baby show set for April 1-2 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
The show, formerly known as Built for Baby, has been renamed Best in Baby and has been compressed to two days, down from four in the past. As part of this effort, the show has eliminated the traditional consumer day and limited booth space and floor size to “provide a curated showcase of the best the baby industry has to offer.”
“With the rate of change we’re seeing in the baby and children’s products industry, we need an event that is focused on the future,” said Kelly Mariotti, JPMA executive director. “That’s why we’ve made significant changes to the JPMA Show: Best in Baby, including a new name. This year’s attendees will find more excitement, innovation and trends, and exhibitors will enjoy expanded opportunities to showcase their expertise to consumers, retailers and media. We want everyone who attends to feel they’ve received exceptional value in a short amount of time.”
The JPMA said it is also updating the JPMA Innovation Awards program, to include additional categories and to honor products that address parents’ needs in unique ways. The call for companies to enter the JPMA Innovation Awards opens in December 2019.
The preliminary schedule for The JPMA Show is as follows:
Wednesday, April 1
