The global leader in press and business events in the United States, Europe, Japan and India today announced an agreement to produce a new product showcase where play and technology meet—at the third annual Sandbox Summit @ MIT.

ShowStoppers will organize hands-on product introductions, previews and demonstrations for attendees registered for the two-day Sandbox Summit conference, which runs April 17 and 18 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. The ShowStoppers @ Sandbox Summit event is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, April 17.

This year's Sandbox Summit, Going Mobile, Going Global, focuses on how the mobile revolution changes the tools and rules of play. High-energy presentations from industry leaders and original research will be presented each morning. Interactive workshops take place both afternoons.

"From the invention of the wheel to the swipe of a screen, technology continues to change how children play, learn, and communicate," said Claire Green, cofounder of Sandbox Summit. "Our partnership with MIT's Education Arcade keeps us at the forefront of new ideas, and spotlights the anytime/anywhere playful learning that technology offers."

Sandbox Summit cofounder Wendy Smolen said: "Our new partnership with ShowStoppers means our audience can actually play with some of the most exciting products coming to market. It's an amazing opportunity for both journalists and attendees to see where the industry is headed."

About Sandbox Summit
Sandbox Summit is a series of conferences designed to address how technology is changing the ways kids play, learn, and connect. Founded by Claire Green and Wendy Smolen, the goal of Sandbox Summit is to ensure that the next generation of players becomes active innovators rather than passive consumers of technology. Through high-energy panels, innovative demonstrations, original research, and thought-provoking discussions with industry leaders, analysts, journalists, educators and parents, each Summit strategically intermingles disciplines and viewpoints to bring fresh ideas to every event and never talk to a room full of nodding heads.
