Trade Day is a program designed for educators, professors, graduate students, librarians, and retailers to get hands-on training, shared research, networking, and participate in professional development opportunities through a day of seminars, demonstrations, and events.
Trade Day is split between two focuses: retailers, and educators and librarians. The retailer focus is on business, marketing, and building community. The educators and librarian focus is on how to gamify your classroom/library, gaming strategies in curriculum, and building community. Anyone with a Trade Day badge can attend all events regardless of the focus; something can always be gleaned from a different perspective.
For 2021, we are partnering with Alliance Game Distributors who will be bringing their Open House event to Trade Day and expanding on the traditional retailer-focused events, emphasizing sales opportunities and upcoming product releases from major gaming publishers.
Alliance will be hosting informative publisher seminars connecting retailers with key vendor product presentations in advance of The Best Four Days of Gaming.
