Your Content Where the Kids Are
Kids' producers face the familiar challenge of wanting to deliver their content on a platform that will best engage their audiences. In addition to a myriad of broadcast and streaming services, some Canadian companies are also turning to YouTube and creating their own channels and platforms to distribute their content. What makes the most sense and how can producers continue to adapt to this changing model? Join us to explore the challenges, and opportunities that exist in trying to reach kids where they are.




Case Study: Everybody's Curious & Let's Talk Sex/Mental Illness
Kids’ content is tackling taboo topics like never before. Rocket Forum shares the findings from this important Case Study, featuring producers Sarah Chatelaine and Louise Pollard discussing the need for children’s content to address key social issues, and how each approached this need with their series.



Kids Being Seen On Screen
On-screen representation matters. It has been proven to impact kids' self-worth and sense of belonging to see themselves reflected in the content they consume. Join us for a special conversation, including hearing directly from the kids' perspective, as Rocket Forum explores how on-screen representation not only affects how others see kids - but how they see themselves.





How to Protect the Elephant in the Room in 10 Hard Steps
In this panel, Rocket Forum will present a step-by-step guide to creating environmental change both on screen and off. Focussing on Sinking Ship's series, Endlings, we will explore how to make a difference in the world and foster empathy for the planet through the building of a new elephant orphanage - all while earning an Environmental Media Association Green Seal.





Is Roblox the Future Platform for Canadian Kids’ Content?
With more than 50 million daily active users, it’s no secret that kids have embraced Roblox as a platform that allows them to make their own games and play games made by their peers, but it’s become so much more than that. With the biggest players in the kids’ space looking to Roblox as the next great opportunity, it begs the question, Is Roblox the future of kids’ content? Rocket Forum takes a deep dive into the vast opportunities and innovation at Roblox.
