Crayola to meet with inventors at Mojo Pitch 2026

Inventors will be able to pitch concepts to Crayola at this year’s Mojo Pitch.

Forming part of Mojo Nation’s annual Play Creators Festival, the live Mojo Pitch event will take place on Thursday, June 25th 2026 at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Crayola will also be involved in the Virtual Mojo Pitch event, taking place digitally across July 14th, 15th and 16th 2026.

Both the live and virtual events will welcome inventors, invention studios and design agencies as they pitch new toy and game concepts to a range of companies, each on the lookout for new products.

“Crayola is excited to be back at the Mojo Pitch in person this year,” said Crayola’s Joseph Moll.

“We’re looking forward to reconnecting with our innovative inventor partners, meeting new creative minds, and diving into the inspiring trends and fresh perspectives that make the Play Creators Festival such a standout.

“We love connecting with passionate creators whose ideas and energy help bring new colour and creativity to the Crayola brand. Inventors, invention houses, and design agencies with bold, playful ideas are encouraged to book a meeting with us at the show – we’d love to see what you’re creating.”
