Frankfurt Kids Conference is an annual gathering where the international children’s publishing community comes together to exchange insights, address shared challenges, and explore the evolving role of children’s literature in a rapidly changing world. This year’s theme, “Rewriting the Future,” sets the stage for two forward looking discussions. Keynote by Raina Telgemeier.

The panel, “Saving the World Without a Budget,” will spotlight practical, creative strategies for producing high quality books amid cost pressures and shifting reading habits. Another panel, “The Future Is Bright,” will explore what fuels optimism across publishing houses and share ideas that participants can adapt and apply in their own markets.

Frankfurt Kids Conference will yet again serve as a crucible for inspiration and meaningful networking among all those committed to ensuring that children everywhere have access to books that entertain, empower, and help them make sense of the world they live in.

Speakers include Perminder Mann, CEO, Simon & Schuster UK; Stephanie Barrouillet, Owner, S.B.Rights Agency, Israel; Anja Kemmerzell, Team Lead, Content/Metadata Optimization, Text & Analytics, Carlsen; Karine Leclerc, Co founder & Editor at Éditions La Doux, France.
