It's been a long time coming but our Vertex festival of art, VFX and animation is coming back in 2024. The live event will host a mix of industry legends and leading artists from the film, animation, and video games industries who will share their advice, work and more.

Vertex is a great chance for the CG community to gather, learn and celebrate the best of digital art, VFX and animation. Past speakers have included illustrator Loish, Lucasfilm concept artist Dawn Carlos and cinematics director Frederik Löfberg (Dragon Age), as well as teams from Framestore, Pixar, The Mill and ILM. We're working hard to bring a great mix of artists to Vertex 2024, with some big name guests to be announced soon.
