MIA ANIMATION is an industry conference that focuses on Computer Animation, Gaming, Visual Effects and Motion Graphics, Film, Web Design and Visual Arts. We have brought world-renowned industry speakers that offer master classes along with software demos and multiple panels. This year we have several panels focusing on new technologies.
