2012 Kidscreen Summit: Key Market For Those That Hustle

EventsEditor — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:10:39 -0800

To get the most out of KidScreen, you need to set up as many meetings as you can ahead of time and on the fly with other delegates and/or companies. In order to have meetings, you need to have something to talk about and that's usually a property you'd like to pitch or an idea of what you'd like to option with which you'd like to partner. The opportunities are there, but dance cards fill up quickly.
