MDS Ecom Founder Connect at Toy Fair 2026
MDS Connect at Toy Fair
An invite-only MDS Connect designed for founders who are actively building real, scalable ecommerce brands across Amazon, TikTok, DTC, and beyond.
Taking place during Toy Fair New York, this event brings together a curated group of MDS members and seven-figure ecommerce operators attending the show. This edition of MDS Connect will feature a short, casual fireside chat, followed by open networking.
Featured Founder Spotlight
This MDS Connect will include a 30-minute fireside chat featuring William Langford, founder of Nor Cal Pet.
Rather than a formal panel or presentation, this will be a relaxed, on-stage conversation focused on a topic William feels strongly about. The discussion is designed to be candid, practical, and conversational, offering perspective rather than polished talking points.
