Kids International Media Summit – KIMS Canada

The International Market for Children & Youth Media Content
Presented by the Youth Media Alliance (YMA)

The Youth Media Alliance (YMA) wishes to develop a bold new international market designed to position Canada as a global destination for children’s and youth media content and to create new business opportunities for creators, producers, studios and broadcasters / streamers around the world.

KIMS Canada will be the only international market in Canada dedicated exclusively to children’s and youth media content, bringing together international buyers, co- production partners and Canadian companies in one highly curated, business-driven environment. At a time when many small and mid-sized companies can no longer afford to attend large international markets, KIMS will bring the world to them — while simultaneously elevating Canada’s profile as a powerhouse for kids content.

 

KIMS Canada brings together the entire children’s and youth media ecosystem.

Full profiles, messaging and meeting scheduling: everything happens in the KIMS Hub. Access is reserved for registered participants.
