After carefully considering the impact of the Omicron variant on the industry’s ability to travel internationally and meet in person at this time, Kidscreen has decided to postpone Kidscreen Summit 2022, which was set to take place as a live event in Miami from February 14 to 17, until July 18 to 21.

Kidscreen Summit Virtual will still move forward as planned from March 7 to 11, and all attendees who are registered for the live event will also have access to this digital companion event.

“We recognize that it’s not the same experience as meeting in person, but our hope is that it still helps people make and maintain industry connections in Q1,” says Jocelyn Christie, Kidscreen’s SVP & Publisher.

All existing live event registrations and sponsorships will be transferred to the rescheduled event in July. Kidscreen has posted an FAQ page at summit.kidscreen.com/2022/postponement to answer some of the initial questions attendees may have, and its Customer Care team is standing by at customersupport@kidscreensummit.com to provide more info.

Registration is currently open for both Kidscreen Summit Virtual and the rescheduled Kidscreen Summit live event, and more information can be found online at summit.kidscreen.com.
