Doors open 6:00pm Program begins 6:30pm sharp Reception to follow
Generative AI video is moving from experiments to production pipelines. Creators & studios are now confronting the real questions: how do you scale it, where does it shine, & what challenges remain?
A select group of creative, technical, & legal leaders, including an Emmy award winner, will share firsthand perspectives from the front lines-what's working, what's breaking, & what comes next. Topics will include integrating GenAI into film & interactive projects, navigating copyright & ownership, & the practical realities of building professional pipelines around new tools.
Attendance is reserved only for those directly involved in creative or technical work with generative media.
