The global animation and VFX industry are facing unprecedented challenges as major studios undergo shake-ups, funding for new projects becomes increasingly scarce, and audience preferences shift dramatically towards streaming platforms. In this rapidly evolving landscape, industry professionals must adapt to new realities, explore emerging opportunities, and find innovative ways to sustain growth.
To address these critical issues, an inaugural Animation & VFX Industry Roundtable is set to bring together leading professionals from around the world for an in-depth discussion on the current trends and opportunities in the sector. The event will provide a platform for collaboration, where experts can share insights, analyze market dynamics, and strategize for the future.
With the traditional business models of animation, computer graphics (CG), and visual effects (VFX) undergoing a transformation, the need for industry-wide dialogue has never been greater.

This roundtable aims to create a space for constructive discussions on how to navigate these disruptions and sustain long-term success.
