Talk: Fix the Animation Nation [Manchester Animation Festival 2026]

BUY TICKETS

Industry panels are good at listing problems, but how good are we at presenting the solutions? In this industry focussed session we ask MAF and ANF delegates to step forward to share what is holding us back and present solutions that lay out their vision for the future.

In 2026 MAF put the call out for people in industry to share what is weighing them down and what changes could make a huge difference to their working lives. Join them as they step onto the stage and share how we can fix the animation nation.

WANT TO GET INVOLVED? – We are looking for MAF and ANF Delegates to present their solutions to the problems our community faces. The event format will be a selection of 10 minute presentations where the problem, and it’s solution are presented. Followed by a panel with all the presenters.

If you’d like to get involved please apply here.
