Playologie
Launched in June 2014, playologie is the fruit of a long reflexion by the founders of Playtime, Sebastien de Hutten and Marie Czapska. More than a simple virtual trade show, it is a rich working platform for industry players, helping them in their activity through different tools. It will include a performant studio photo, that will operate during the show, providing brands with professional products shots of their collections in very quick delays.
