Childhood Almaty

Since its founding in 2008, the “Childhood” trade fair has established itself as a key event on the international calendar of the children’s and baby products industry. Its name not only stands for childhood but also symbolizes a comprehensive range of innovative products, services, and emerging trends that shape the growth and well-being of children. As the only annual trade fair of its kind in Central Asia, it takes place at the Atakent International Exhibition Centre in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and is organized by the experienced agency Alexpo. Manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers from various countries come together here to exchange insights and information on developments and offerings in areas such as toys, strollers, hygiene products, baby food, creative materials, children's furniture, and specialized items for expectant mothers and newborns.

What makes “Childhood” particularly valuable is its targeted focus on all the needs of modern childhood—from high-quality clothing for every season and educational materials to specialist literature and child-friendly furniture. The trade fair addresses a professional audience with its extensive range and sets new standards in knowledge sharing and networking through expert workshops, masterclasses, and a dedicated festival for pregnant women and newborns.

Exhibitors from all sectors of the children’s and baby products industry showcase their latest innovations and solutions to an international professional audience. Most visitors come from Asia and Europe and are primarily engaged in manufacturing, trade, and distribution. Interested members of the public also have the opportunity to learn about current trends and new products. With its international focus, “Childhood” not only strengthens Almaty’s position as a business hub but also contributes to the economic development of the entire region.

The Atakent Exhibition Centre is one of the largest and most modern venues in Kazakhstan. With its spacious halls, advanced infrastructure, convenient accessibility, and ample parking, it provides exhibitors and visitors alike with ideal conditions for successful trade fair days. As a result, “Childhood” has developed into one of the most important platforms for communication and innovation in the industry across Central Asia.

The Childhood takes place annually, and therefore for the twentieth time previsibly in August 2026 in Almaty.
