Content Americas is strengthening its focus on children’s entertainment with the launch of a dedicated Kids Content Summit and Kids Content Pavilion at its 2027 edition, taking place from January 18–21 at the Hilton Miami Downtown.

The initiative follows the closure of Kidscreen’s event and responds to growing demand from the international children’s content industry for a new meeting point in North America. Scheduled for Wednesday, January 20, the Kids Content Summit will feature a half-day conference bringing together leading buyers, commissioners and financiers to discuss opportunities and developments in the global kids entertainment business.

“Following the closure of the Kidscreen event, we have received a considerable number of requests to further extend Content Americas into the kids market,” said David Jenkinson, C21’s editor-in-chief and managing director.

“We have had kids content as part of the agenda at Content Americas in the past, but this initiative will see us super-size that commitment, with a half-day summit featuring key buyers, commissioners and financiers taking part in the event.”

The new Kids Content Pavilion will provide additional exhibition space for companies operating in the children’s sector, with further expansion planned for 2028 and beyond. Alongside the new kids initiatives, Content Americas 2027 will feature its established three-day conference and market, the Rose d’Or Latinos Awards, the new D2C Entertainment Summit and the third edition of the Vertical & Shortform Summit.

The programme will also include the American Hitmakers*strand, bringing together prominent North American producers, commissioners, buyers and financiers, reinforcing the event’s growing position as a meeting point for the international content industry.
