The Visual Effects Society has announced plans to host its second annual Entertainment Industry Production Summit on Oct. 23 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Marina del Rey, Calif.
The theme of the event is ‘Navigating Tomorrow’s Business Models.’
‘Our inaugural Summit held last October proved to be an amazing success by offering a great opportunity to bring together leading creatives for a wide-ranging discussion covering the gamut from previs to building worldwide pipelines,’ says Eric Roth, executive director of the VES. ‘Because industry changes come so rapidly ‘ on the creative, technological and business fronts ‘ and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future, we decided that bringing key industry stakeholders together annually would be truly beneficial to everyone in our industry.’
This year’s sessions will include:
‘ Does It Come With Wheels? How Pushing the On-Set Tech Envelope Affects Your Business
‘ It’s So Cool! How an ‘Aha’ Moment Offers New Business Opportunities
‘ Tomorrow’s Production Renaissance: Adapting to Ever-Changing Roles
‘ The Madonna Approach: The Only Constant is Change
