•motion09

Next, is motion09. At motion, we understand that creatives are fueled by a mysterious force that inspires great ideas, new ways of seeing the world, and the courage to do things differently. All too often, this creative force is zapped by the demands of the industry. Revitalizing creative talents provides a renewed sense of being.

motion09 is an event that inspires. Once a year, animators, motion graphics artists, title designers, visual effects (VFX) artists and broadcast designers come together to share their skills, work, and professional insights. The event is a non-traditional conference atmosphere — an atmosphere designed to inspire.

To purchase tickets for this event, go to www.motionregistration.com. The cost for an {e}ticket is $399 or for an {m}ticket $599. Get your tickets before October 1st as the rates will be going up to $499 and $699.
