It is the opportunity to make it easy for Canadian producers, broadcasters, creators of children’s content to meet, exchange while raising funds for the YMA. It’s a unique opportunity for representatives from the various sectors of this industry to forge and strengthen ties in an environment conducive to sharing ideas and knowledge. Building this type of synergy among all players is critical in this evolving industry. The commingling of skills and talent within the youth television and new-media community goes a long way toward improving the quality of homegrown productions, thus enhancing their value of their work throughout the year.
