Manchester Animation Festival

A dedicated day of discussion that blends industry practice with academic excellence to explore and enhance the prospects for educating in the animated artform.

The conference will demolish the barriers between education, training and industry to bring together key figures from the sector for lively chat and constructive conversations, highlighting good practice from industry and exploring all educational avenues that will build a better animation ecosystem for all.

At Animated Connections Conference the conversation between academia and industry is refreshed and anyone with an interest in training or education in animation is welcome to join us for a packed day of practical events, panels and keynote speakers.

2024 will explore themes of PRACTICE, TECHNOLOGY and SOCIETY through keynotes, panels and debates.
