Changing its dates for 2020, the Children\u2019s Media Conference is now scheduled to run from Tuesday, July 7 to Thursday, July 9.<\/p>\n
Around 1,250 delegates are expected to attend the conference, which will center on the theme of Right Here Right Now and tackle the current issues facing the children\u2019s media industry and the youth audience. CMC will kick off with its annual market day, the CMC International Exchange, playing host to a range of broadcasters, co-producers, funders and investors from across the world who are looking to meet sellers of content and services.<\/p>\n
The three-day event will feature a slate of keynote speakers, an exploration of the changes facing the industry and discussion panels on relevant topics, including young people\u2019s new activism and the volatile digital landscape for kids.\u00a0At CMC 2020, the Changemakers, who\u00a0have provided a call-to-arms for the children\u2019s media industry over the years, will have an even greater presence with the addition of a new Changemaker network and more young people influencing the content of the conference.<\/p>\n
Greg Childs, editorial director at CMC, said: \u201cOur theme this year was very much inspired by the challenges set by our young Changemakers last July. They demanded action from us on climate change, diversity in the industry, enabling the voices of young people and understanding the changing ways in which they\u2019re accessing their media choices. The theme reflects the rapid change in the kids’ content business landscape. New sources of funding, industry consolidation, public service and commercial pressure, new platforms targeting young consumers, new regulatory issues and continuing audience fragmentation\u2014they are all contributing to uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
