CMC organised the UK Trade and Investment supported delegation to Kidscreen in association with the Creative Garden and sponsored by Laughing Gravy Media.
The Kidscreen Summit took place from the 5th – 8th February 2013 at the Hilton New York. It’s a conference and a market which over 350 buyers and commissioners attend. In all there were 1600 delegates at the 2012 Summit, representing 42 different territories. Kidscreen offers a global perspective on children’s media, and brings together the key influencers under one roof – especially those from the North American market.
The delegation comprised around 50 individuals from 32 companies. The delegation was based at the UK@Kidscreen meeting tables in the Delegates’ Lounge at the Hilton. Contact details for individual members of the delegation can be found on their profiles.
CMC organises the entire UK@Kidscreen delegation with the Creative Garden (not including flights and accommodation in New York)
CMC Editorial Director Greg Childs and The Creative Garden Creative Director Sarah Baynes are in support before and during the Summit
Staff from the UKTI New York office provide “on the ground” introductions and industry insight
The package includes Registration for the Kidscreen Summit at the maximum discounted rate of $1150
A pre-event briefing in London in December, with expert advice and top tips for exploiting the Summit
Your company or personal name listed in an advertisement in Kidscreen magazine – just prior to the event
Your profile on the delegation website and in the brochure to be provided at the event (See last year’s as an example)
The UK@Kidscreen delegation has a “base” at Kidscreen, with three dedicated tables bookable for meetings (vital as so many delegates are competing for somewhere to sit!)
An exclusive knowledge-building breakfast with specialists in the North American market
An even more exclusive networking reception for UK@Kidscreen delegation members to meet international influencers and buyers. (It’s the hot Kidscreen ticket as it takes place in the Consul’s Residence – where the Princes stay when they are in New York).
