Australian Children’s Content Summit returns for third year

Australia’s only dedicated children’s content summit, the Australian Children’s Content Summit, returns for its third year on the New South Wales’ Coffs Coast this August.

Now expanded to be a four-day event, the ACCS will run from Monday 25 August to Thursday 28 August 2025, presented by SLR Productions and hosted by Emma Watkins.

Over the past two years, the ACCS has attracted 260 delegates from 12 countries, including industry leaders from ABC, NITV, BBC, BBC Studios, CBC, PBS Kids, Apple, Disney, Netflix, Sony, Paramount, Nine, Hello Sunshine, and many more.  The summit continues to grow in both impact and reach, establishing itself as a key platform for connection, collaboration and conversation across the global children’s content industry.

The summit provides a unique setting for industry relevant activities, including speaker panels, pitching opportunities, business discussions and social engagements.

SLR Productions CEO and Australian Children’s Content Summit Founder Suzanne Ryan said: “The Australian Children’s Content Summit brings the industry together in a meaningful and collaborative way.  It’s inspiring to see the event continue to grow, creating a space for our industry to connect, build lasting relationships and celebrate the outstanding content being made.  This summit is about taking pride in what we create, contributing to a strong, sustainable future and driving the industry forward through a collective effort.”
