There will be exhibition stands and a series of workshops such as How to market yourself, run by Skillset's Phil Shingler, and a special seminar with John Brown on how the International Association of Wildlife Filmmakers got the BBC to take freelances seriously. Spaces are limited, so to book your place email [email protected].

Officials and local reps will also be visiting Bristol-based theatres, cinemas and animation and production companies, with a special open meeting for animators on Thursday night from 7-9pm at The Watershed.

There is something for everyone, so if you live in Bristol or the surrounding area, pop in and say hello.
