International Kids Licensing & Media Days

From 13 to 15 April 2026, the International Kids Licensing & Media Days return for their sixth consecutive year — with a new name that tells a bigger story. What were once the International Kids Licensing Days have evolved to reflect the increasingly transmedia soul of the fair, because today stories walk, run and travel across multiple formats, and the conversation around them must do the same.

Over three days of conferences, the programme will explore the latest trends shaping children's content — from licensing to publishing, audiovisual to gaming — with a sharp focus on the new approaches needed to capture the attention of an audience that is more fragmented and fast-evolving than ever.

This year, over 80 speakers from diverse fields and industries will take the stage, making the Bologna experience more transmedia than ever before.
