Roughly 250 attendees are expected to be at AAS, where each project will be pitched in a moderated live Q&A during the three-day event.

Roughly 50% of projects that have debuted at past AAS events have since gone into production, including Bluey (2017), Bottersnikes & Gumbles (2012), Kuu Kuu Harajuku (2013), Wonderballs (2012) and Balloon Baynard (2014). Last year’s event welcomed Indonesian projects for the first time, catching the eye of Karen Miller, who at the time was Disney’s VP of programming strategy and is now Universal Kids’ SVP of content.

AAS is owned and produced by Kidscreen, with support of hosting partner KOCCA (Korea); presenting partner BEKRAF (Indonesia); and supporting partners Create NSW, Screen Queensland (Australia), MDEC (Malaysia), DITP (Thailand), ASIFA China and Wellington Animation Group (New Zealand). More information, including images of each AAS 2018 project, can be found online.
