Get Animated Business of Animation Conference revealed keynote speakers for its “in conversation” chats. U.K. Screen Alliance CEO Neil Hatton and the U.K. Department for Business and Trade head of Creative Industries Tendai Chetse will speak at the event, which runs May 1-2 at the Millennium Point Conference Centre in Birmingham.
Hatton will take to the stage and discuss the future of digital production in the U.K., new tax incentives, and the hype and hysteria around GenAI use in animation and VFX.
“It’s been a bitter-sweet last 18 months,” said Hatton. “Some of the worst trading conditions in living memory for film and TV can now be balanced against renewed optimism as the industry has won a basket of new tax incentives to drive digital production in the U.K.”
“The creativity and storytelling developed and inspired by U.K. Animation is loved and admired globally,” said Chetse. “Amidst the backdrop of a challenging year for the screen sectors as a whole, the U.K. is nonetheless home to some of the most exciting creators, studios, and VFX companies anywhere in the world. Now is the time to build on these strengths to support the next era of production in the digital age.”
