Digital creators added to line-up at Australian Children’s Content Summit

DIGITAL creators and gaming industry representatives will join the conversation for the first time at the Australian Children’s Content Summit in Coffs Harbour between 25-28 August.

The digital, YouTube and games sectors have been added to the four-day program with industry sessions and collaborative meetups to be held.

The addition of these new voices to the summit alongside global broadcasters and leading content platforms, reflects the organisers’ commitment to championing the full spectrum of children’s and family storytelling across all formats.

There is an event session created especially for game developers to connect with producers, buyers, investors and industry leaders from around the world, as well as collaborative forums with YouTube Kids and Family to strengthen and broaden the industry’s cross-sector dialogue.

Speaking at the event is YouTube Creator Australia and New Zealand Lead, Sabine Zonderland.

“YouTube provides an incredible platform for local creators to not only share their unique stories but also to build sustainable careers,” Ms Zonderland said.

“I’m excited to discuss at the summit how YouTube fosters skilling and discoverability, enabling creators to develop original IP, cultivate engaged communities, and ultimately, contribute to the rich tapestry of Australian children’s content.”

The founder of the Australian Children’s Content Summit is Suzanne Ryan, SLR Productions CEO.

“With children’s content now living across screens, platforms and formats, the Australian Children’s Content Summit is embracing the full creative ecosystem to spark future storytelling,” she said.

“We’re proud to welcome an extraordinary line-up of global broadcasters and a new wave of digital creators, recognising that the future of this industry lies in collaboration across both traditional and emerging spaces.”
