Save the date for ASTRA’s Marketplace & Academy 2023

Make sure you mark your calendars for June 11-14, with events starting on the 10th. We will be in Columbus, Ohio at the Greater Columbus Convention Center at 400 North High Street for next year’s Marketplace & Academy!

Watch for details coming in the next few months as things are already starting to take shape. We are planning new educational offerings, and more things to see on the show floor.

Opening events are scheduled for June 10.

For those of you who have said, “Columbus? Really?” We’d like to remind you that we heard the same thing when we announced that we were headed to Pittsburgh in 2019. After the event, everyone raved about how GREAT Pittsburgh was! We do our research on all venues that we consider, including site visits, and Columbus surprised us with its

amazing restaurants and energetic vibe. We have taken all the suggestions and input from everyone that attended this year’s event in Long Beach to make sure we continually improve.

Columbus is a happening place.

The city’s vibe, along with everything that ASTRA is planning, will make Marketplace & Academy 2023 better than ever and a must-attend event.

We will have more to tell in the new year and remember: if you join us on the Toy Boat and go to ToyFest in 2023, you’ll get one free hotel night at our main hotel for Marketplace & Academy. The 4-Star Hilton in downtown Columbus is steps from the Greater Columbus Convention Center. You’ll also get one free hotel night at the ToyFest hotel of choice at ToyFest 2023!
