PANEL DISCUSSION: WHAT'S THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN PANEL DISCUSSION: WHAT'S THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING AND PUSHING FOR THE PROGRESS OF THE ANIMATION INDUSTRY? 
Join us on 23 Nov, 8 PM (GMT+8) for this lively open discussion as we look at the challenges faced by the industry to nurture new talent and identify and discuss the expectations and contributions of tertiary education to the Animation industry. 
In order to further establish an Animation industry, the Education sector has an understandable responsibility to consider and ensure students are provided with the resources to acquire a whole range of skills.
This undertaking extends far beyond the scope of individual teachers and classroom practice. To achieve this, policymakers, educational institutes and employers need embark on open discussion.
Join us for this discussion, hosted by Chris Shaw from LASALLE College of the Arts with panelists from Nanyang Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, NUS, and established animation studios.

The digital age has democratized the way creatives can earn a living.

But where do you start ? And can you really make a living out of it? 
Hear from the experts and futurists who have done just that, and lets take a look into the future of monetization in the Animation industry. 
Hosted by our Festival Director and Co-Founder, Vicky Chen, in animated (no pun intended) discussions with Patrick Smith, fellow CU Co-Founder and animation director, George Gally, creative coder, data and generative artist from South Africa, and Omens Studios owner, Chi Sim Tang
