Networking and meet the recruiters

Aims and how the networking works

We aim to bring interesting and hard-working artists and producers from around Australia together from the major VFX, commercial animation, and 3-D studio’s, to learn from each other and network together. We will have small breakout rooms for networking before and after the event, you can choose who you would like to chat with at the event. We will also have a networking guide with profile photo and contact details.
