Over 275 Canadian producers and broadcasters of the children content community will be meeting potential buyers and partners in the Canadian Delegation booth, that is over 350 appointments over four days, representing a significant business volume that will be discussed with a Canadian Showreel showcasing the amazing new productions. In addition, participants will be attending conferences and special events organized by Brunico during the Kidscreen Summit. It is the annual event that has quickly become the world’s leading children’s entertainment business conference, regularly welcoming over 2,200 participants from around the globe. Leading decision-makers and dealmakers attend to engage in dialogue, network and find new ideas to drive their businesses forward.

The YMA is also pleased to welcome dignitaries from the Canadian and Quebec governments to help promote Canadian business in the region, including Karen Sleiman, Consul of the Canadian Consulate in San Diego, and David Ruiz, Director of Public Affairs and Cooperation, and Melissa Isom, Commercial Attaché, from the Délégation générale du Québec à Los Angeles.

It will all begin with the YMA greeting and welcoming attendees in the Canadian Delegation booth at an informal Get-together on February 4^th, 2024 at 10 a.m.
