We've got a day of sessions & networking planned to help you understand their needs and get your toyetic IPs in front of them.

Kicking off with a “What Walmart Wants” fireside chat between Ned Ward from the retailer’s Entertainment Council and United Talent Agency’s Sid Kaufman, Tuesday at the Summit will also feature these sessions and social events:

• retail data insights from Circana’s Kristen McLean, who'll take you through the 10 things you need to know about the kids licensing market in 2025
• the first-ever Kidscreen Licensing Challenge, a competition showcase for new kids entertainment brands with untapped merch potential
• a mini case study looking at viral brand Skibidi Toilet’s meteoric market rise
• licensee panels featuring execs from Mattel, Spin Master, Moose Toys, Bonkers Toys, Miraculous Corp, Jay Franco, Innovative Designs, Disguise and more
• a Mix & Mingle networking event to chat with these speakers over cocktails

Check out our delegate list to see who else is planning to be in San Diego, and sign up soon before this final discount ends.

Booking Accommodations

One of the reasons we’re able to host Kidscreen Summit at such an awesome venue—located right on the waterfront and a short walk away from the Gaslamp Quarter’s vibrant nightlife—is because we set aside hotel rooms for our attendees at a discounted rate.

It really helps us out to have as many people as possible stay at the Marriott. Plus it makes the whole event experience a lot better for you…extra sleep in the mornings because your commute is two minutes in an elevator, a chance to change shoes when your feet get sore in the afternoon, somewhere to go for a quiet break when you need a little me time, free glasses of wine at happy hour, more chance encounters with colleagues over nightcaps at the hotel bar, etc.

If you haven’t booked your accommodations yet—or if you have, but like the sound of staying on-site better—please consider joining us at the Marriott. King and double rooms are available from February 8 to 13 for US$350 a night. Use this link, or call the hotel directly at +1-877-622-3056 and reference Kidscreen Summit to book under our block.
