The Youth Media Alliance’s seventh edition the Children, Youth & Media Conference starts tomorrow in Toronto.

The Conference runs from November 15 through to 17, and offers three days of talks, panels, workshops and exchanges with industry professionals on a host of pivotal topics.

And this year the theme of the conference will focus on “Survival of the Fittest!”

We are also excited to share that 9 Story CSO, Natalie Osborne will be participating in one of the conference panel discussions!

She has a proven track record of nurturing ideas and relationships to build properties with enduring appeal and cross-border resonance.

Natalie Osborne will be one of the panelists on the China 101: Breaking the Wall session, which runs from 3:15pm to 4:15 p.m, on Wednesday November 15.
