Event Description

Cartoon Next offers 3 days dedicated to the evolution of the creative and digital industries. The main focus will be on well-curated keynotes: experienced professionals bringing their vision on the future of your business, your craft and your day-to-day work. On the other hand, producers coming from all over Europe will pitch innovative projects, displaying their transmedia strategy, and getting a direct and thoughtful feedback from international animation experts with various background.
