Kidscreen heads to MIPTV with a Diverse Voices special issue

Senior reporter Ryan Tuchow will also be at the market looking for stories for our May/June magazine edition.
March 20, 2024

MIPTV is right around the corner, and it could well be the last one in Cannes. I’ll be heading there next month and would love to connect to discuss news and story leads for Kidscreen. If you’ve got shows, deals or business initiatives we don’t already know about, please reach out (rtuchow@brunico.com) and let’s book a meeting.

I’m also working on an article for the May/June issue that explores the kids industry’s thoughts on MIPTV’s rumored move to London, Paris or Barcelona in 2025. If you have opinions to share, please take a minute to fill out this quick survey

While you’re in Cannes, keep an eye out for Kidscreen’s Diverse Voices special issue, in which we spotlight 24 up-and-comers in the industry who took part in our 2023 mentoring program and connected with experienced executives last fall for career planning advice, portfolio reviews and networking opportunities. 

Nearly 2,000 delegates are currently registered for this year’s event, according to the MIPTV site. Attendance in 2023 was up by 22% to 5,650 (including 1,580 buyers). And in February, the MIPTV team expected to have 130 participating exhibitors.

The big takeaway insights from last year’s market were that producers should expand into gaming—specifically Roblox—and kids need a little more positivity and inspiration in their lives. This year’s sessions are focusing on FAST, AVOD and AI, with Ampere’s Guy Bisson and Gone With’s Peter Robinson, set to talk about how AI can be used in the industry.
