In a time of change, FMX offers insights and inspiration

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” – this finding by scientist and author Arthur C. Clarke aptly describes what FMX is all about.

From May 6 to 9, around 250 international magicians of all trades will join Europe’s leading conference on VFX, animation and digital media to present the latest projects and discuss pressing questions.

This year’s FMX theme RHYTHM OF CHANGE addresses the transition media creators are currently going through, offering insights and inspiration on how to navigate obstacles and shape opportunities. Artificial Intelligence experts from all over the globe are going to share first-hand explorations and practical experiences with paradigm-shifting tools.

There will be presentations on feature films and episodic productions ranging from major blockbusters to artistic animation. On three exhibition floors, market-leading companies and start-ups present creative solutions and cutting-edge tools, top-notch studios scout talent, and media schools present their projects and curricula.

FMX offers around 3,500 professionals and students attending the conference numerous networking opportunities. The conference also presents the high level of expertise of the Stuttgart media region. The program will comprise about 200 sessions – most of them being indistinguishable from magic.
