The new app – titled AF Product Match – learns its users’ preferences in order to deliver personalised product recommendations to buyers, as well as suggesting the most relevant attendees to connect with over the course of the show.

The issue will feature show previews of UK ToyFair, Nuremberg and Spring Fair 2017.
