DAY TWO | Tuesday 21st September | Avenues to
Success
|
|
|
|
Day Two of our Children’s Conference
focuses on Avenues to Success. This past year has asked us all to
reappraise what success actually means, to question our methods of
achieving it and discover new ways of reaching our goals. Our talks
on Tuesday 21 September will shine a light on what we’ve learned and
what we need to consider as we head into a busy autumn: the day will
bring everything from a keynote with Aardman
Animations' managing director Sean Clarke, to Alison Ruane and
Sam Smith from Macmillan Children’s Books on the smash success of You
Are A Champion, to case studies from independents who have pushed
through the pandemic and a panel on where the opportunities lie with
graphic novels, plus the first ever live recording of The Bookseller
and Rocket’s Chapter & Verse Podcast.
This year’s Children’s Conference runs over four days in September,
with over thirty
talks and more than fifty speakers in the lineup.
Remember that your pass gets you access to all the videos until the end of October
2021, so you can watch - or rewatch - all the
sessions at a time that’s convenient for you.
