FAQ Industry

For one: we salute you! The Call for Entries for the 2027 edition of the festival will open early June this year. We look forward to receiving your submission, keep an eye on our website and socials to be updated about our deadlines.

You can find the program HERE. Also, have a look at our printed program booklet to find the Industry program pages in it. The booklets are available and distributed at the festival locations.

Industry days take place at HKU Media, located at Oudenoord 700 in Utrecht. It is a walking distance from the Utrecht Central Station and accessible by public transportation, however parking may be limited.

Kaboom Camp is specially tailored for students, emerging talent and young professionals, while Kaboom PRO is directed towards animation professionals who are already working in the industry, but everyone is welcome to join any program.

A day pass for Kaboom Camp or Kaboom PRO includes full access to the program, with the exception of a few invitation-only sessions.

The HKU Media has a cafeteria at your disposal and we suggest you bring your own water bottle to reduce the waste!

No, we sell Kaboom Camp and Kaboom PRO passes separately. If you would like to attend both days, you can purchase the passes for each day.

The One-on-One meetings are pre-scheduled, however during the Kaboom PRO day there is a Meet up Space to meet and greet fellow animation filmmakers and professionals and everyone with the Kaboom PRO day pass can attend it.

We closed the selection for 2026 edition, but please stay tuned for the 2027 deadlines! Usually, the Debutante Ball call for showreels opens in December and we plan to open the submissions for the next edition of Benelux Animation Pitch in August 2026. 

After the event we will send you a survey by email, in which you have the chance to share your experience and give suggestions for the next editions. You can also contact .
