WORKING PRO PASS: Animated U - April 25-26, 2026

If you’re already creating — writing, drawing, pitching, voicing, building something of your own — this pass puts you closer to the conversation.

Animation doesn’t move forward through theory. It moves forward through people showing their work, asking questions, and learning from those who’ve walked the path before them.

For two days, you’ll sit with creators, producers, writers, and artists who have spent decades building the shows that shaped generations, many that you already know and love.

And, you'll hear from creators that have pivoted and greenlit their own shows, not waiting on streamers or networks to give permission. This is a Creator-Driven environment and that is why you have a seat in this room!!

The Working Pro Pass opens smaller rooms inside the symposium — spaces where creators can speak more candidly, ask deeper questions, and connect with others who are building something real.

This is where the conversation becomes practical.
