We are delighted to announce that this year’s UK Children’s Summit 2020, hosted by Nielsen Book and The London Book Fair, will now take place virtually on Wednesday 23 September.

Our guest speakers will explore how children consume factual content in different ways and what the parallels are with children’s book publishing, revealing key information on the role of books in the rapidly changing world children are finding themselves in. Nielsen Book will also be presenting research into the children’s book market and how children are reading with a particular focus on Non-Fiction content – an area of the market that has experienced growth in sales for many years and is now more critical than ever.

We also look forward to inviting you to take part in virtual networking with other delegates, the speakers and the Nielsen Book team.
