Initiated by VRT Ketnet (Flemish Belgium) and Yle (Finland) and facilitated by MIPJUNIOR, participants will include BBC (UK), RTP (Portugal), RTS (Switzerland), RTBF (French-speaking Belgium), ZDF (Germany), NRK (Norway), and RUV (Iceland), among others, with broadcasters sharing perspectives from their respective markets and exploring opportunities to work more closely together

The partnership will bring industry leaders from Disney Kids & Family to the MIPJUNIOR stage on Sunday 11 October for a dedicated discussion on how Disney is evolving its approach to storytelling for today’s young audiences, from preschoolers to teens and families, as audience behaviors and preferences continue to change.

The showcase will be followed from 12:30 by a Disney Kids & Family Cocktail Lunch, open to all MIPJUNIOR delegates and providing an opportunity to connect with the Disney team and continue the conversation.

Animaj's Gregory Dray, Evan Shapiro, Ampere Analysis and Glance headline a programme exploring the audiences, business models and next generation companies redefining entertainment for young audiences. 

Reflecting where growth and innovation are happening across the industry, this year's programme expands beyond preschool and children's content to embrace the full youth entertainment landscape, from preschool and kids through to tweens and teens, while introducing a more practical, business focused conference programme.
