The Children’s Media Conference 2011

A busy week meant that I could only make one day of this year’s Children’s Media Conference in sunny Sheffield, (what is it about that place? Its been glorious every time I’ve been there!)

With only one day to take it all in, and meet up with some people, I knew it was going to be a whirlwind. And so it was. I arrived just after 9, registered, realised I was too hot, decided there was nothing I could do to fix that (unless I wanted to get arrested) and set off for the first session.

This was a lighthearted look at some interesting market research, neatly wrapped up in a ‘Family Fortunes’ style gameshow, hosted by CBBC’s Ed Petrie. I’ll admit I was not familiar with Ed before, but he turned out to be a more than capable host, and a very funny ad-libber.
