Whilst 30-40% of the programme will be curated behind the scenes with event partners and sponsors, supporters are always welcome to submit talk and speaker ideas. To ensure the best chance of success, please read the following guideline:

• Please ensure the talk is educational, insightful, and covers at least one of the key topics above
• Studio promotional talks (centered around one studio) are less likely to be chosen and are largely reserved for sponsors
• Partners: Talks featuring VFX studios and their production clients, or service providers and their clients have a higher chance of being chosen
• Panels ideas are welcome, even if you only have a topic idea and one speaker – we can help organise other speakers
• Project showcases: as the event is live via YouTube to the general public, we have to adhere to strict copyright rules, therefore will require the content at least 2 weeks in advance (to run copyright checks)
• Exclusives wanted! Talks already online are less likely to be chosen. Talks held at private events and not publicly available online are welcome
• We strive to include at least 40-50% women in our programme, so please bear this in mind when submitting your talk.
• We welcome new speakers! Many speakers are chosen because they have done talks before – we’re keen to feature new speakers to increase growth opportunities and new voices

We will partner with you for each talk on subject, content, speakers and more, to ensure the best talks for our audience, and coverage and marketing leading up to the main event. Your success is our success!
