Children’s Media Professionals of Philly (CMPoP)

CMPoP meeting at Big Howl Studios on November 10th, 2023

What is CMPoP?

CMPoP was founded in June 2023 by Kaz Long & Sherri Hope-Culver with the purpose of fostering a community of children’s media professionals in the local Philly area. We recognized that there were many of us around but lacked a space to gather! As of March 2024, we have 50 CMPoP participants on the event email list, and our community continues to grow. CMPoP is not an affiliate of CMA
