Big Crowd Bodes Well for Big Boys Toys

After a three year hiatus, last weekend saw lifestyle show Big Boys Toys return to Auckland’s ASB Showgrounds with a vengeance. 

More than 30,000 flocked to the three day event, firmly re-cementing Big Boys Toys on the list of major New Zealand shows - and proving a very successful first outing for new owners SMC Events.

“It really was a fantastic weekend,” says event manager Dean Wilson. 

“We’re very pleased with the crowd numbers that attended but also with the amount of business done by the 100+ exhibitors, with substantial sales made across the board, from gadgets to jet skis worth tens of thousands,” he said.

Event organisers are already looking forward to planning next year's event and have received significant interest from potential exhibitors and sponsors.

“We had a relatively short lead-up to this show, but next year, with this year’s success onboard and a full year to plan, we’re expecting to be able to provide an even bigger Big Boys Toys,” said Wilson.
