Don’t miss  your chance to meet everyone working in kids’ media in the UK, in one place at one time. You have to be there – everybody else is!

Register now for the full Conference, for our popular Wednesday Workshops and for the new International Exchange – and of course don’t miss out on the Pizza Express. 

The list of speakers is growing daily in over 50 sessions and workshops, including a whole strand of “Focus On…” international business issues at the International Exchange. Click here more information on the workshops and conference content strands.

We are thrilled that author, screenwriter and collaborator on Olympic Opening Ceremony, Frank Cottrell Boyce will also be opening our event as Keynote speaker on Weds 3 July at 6pm in Sheffield’s iconic Crucible Theatre.

This year’s Conference theme reflects ten years of get-togethers in Sheffield, looking at the past, present and future of children’s media from every perspective.  It asks that familiar question: Are We There Yet…?

We’re getting there – with a fantastic content programme and great networking events planned.  Are you there yet…?
