Young Horizons Industry

19/08/2026

If you’ve been wondering what awaits you this year at the Young Horizons Industry, we have good news as the schedule is NOW LIVE! 💻

This year, we will focus on the future of IP for young audiences — from understanding how they discover and experience stories today, to building original worlds that can grow across film, games, publishing, toys and digital platforms. We will explore how creativity, audience insight and new models of collaboration can turn bold ideas into lasting, multi-platform experiences.

NEW: We are introducing a Conference Day Pass, a one day ticket which enables you to take part in the first day of the forum.
