Kidscreen Live Delayed Due To OmicronThe live element of Kidscreen 2022 in Miami has become the latest Omicron casualty, pushed back to July due to the “impact of the variant on the industry’s ability to travel internationally and meet in person.” The expo, which was due to take place from February 14 to February 17, will push on with its Kidscreen Summit Virtual in March and all attendees registered for the live event will be able to attend. “We recognize that it’s not the same experience as meeting in person, but our hope is that it still helps people make and maintain industry connections in Q1,” said Jocelyn Christie, Kidscreen’s SVP & Publisher.
The rescheduled dates for the live offering are July 18 to July 21. Kidscreen becomes the latest big TV trade event to be impacted by Omicron, following NATPE Miami and Realscreen Austin.
Last year’s Kidscreen was fully online, with the last in-person Kidscreen taking place in February 2020, attended by more than 2,000 people.
