Program Kaboom industry days 2024
The whole program of the 2022 edition of Kaboom.
Grab your golden ticket to the chocolate … euh animation factory! Picture this: two days wholly dedicated to the animation industry. No compromises, no prisoners, but loads of inspirational insights and a feeling of brother/sisterhood. Whether you’re a seasoned or young animator, a sales magician, a distribution maestro, a teacher, a multi-disciplinary artist or an innocent student, the Kaboom Industry Days are the perfect opportunity to ponder the pulsating heartbeat of all things animated, to meet peers and share ideas (just don’t steal them). This year’s edition invites you to reflect on world-building in animation and new approaches to producing. And with more one-on-one meetings than ever, this two-day event promises to be a singular network opportunity. Join us on 9 and 10 April 2024 in Utrecht. Keep an eye on our socials! Ticket sales are set to launch at the beginning of March. 👀
Location: HKU, Oudenoord 700, Utrecht
