About

Knowledge & networking

Digital Kids Today is a full-day conference hosted by Filmby Aarhus and Funday Factory. The conference is addressed to everyone who develop or engage in digital content, experiences and products for children.

Since being founded in 2017, the purpose of the conference has been to share knowledge and insights while creating a foundation for networking and business development across participants from different industries.

The conference is an annual event and is based on children’s ever changing digital media consumption which forces marketeers and product & content developers to be on their toes when it comes to reaching their audience.

With Digital Kids Today, we shed light on kids as digital media consumers. By inviting some of the world’s most prominent content producers and specialists within kids’ development and behaviour, we provide consumer insight & market research, share case examples and best practices on digital engagement for kids.

Theme 2022

This year’s conference focuses on age-appropriate content and design: creating and testing for toddlers and preschoolers.

A range of professional speakers from the game, media and toy industries will take the stage to provide their insight and knowledge on the conference theme.

Throughout the day, the event will allow for networking across professions, industries, etc. - all with the purpose of gaining new knowledge, sharing insights and meeting potential business partners.

The programme will be updated as it develops.

An international meeting point

From the very beginning, Digital Kids Today has had an international reach both in terms of programme and participants.

The desire to create an international meeting point for knowledge sharing and networking within the creative industries has been met with great success.

Digital Kids Today 2018 was an all-day conference with 7 different - and very interesting - talks. All of them based on the subject of today’s digital kids. The speakers touched upon themes such as children’s safety, the role of voice in life and play, the split role between producing and publishing content, the importance of humour and how to create an IP that is cross-platform functional.
