This time we will focus on the rapid developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence – a topic that challenges both the games and the film industry in visual production and opens up equally exciting opportunities and potentials.
We will kick off with an impressive keynote presentation by David Bennet, Founder and CEO of Mimic Productions, who will cover the topic of “The Use of AI Humans in the Games and Film Industry, exploring the Boundaries of Creativity, Case Studies, and the Outputs of our Technological Advancements.” Afterwards, our panel, moderated by AC Coppens, will delve into the thoughts and experiences of Christina Caspers-Roemer, Managing Director at TRIXTER, as well as Reynald François, Creative Director at Ubisoft Berlin, and David Bennett. After this phase, we will open the discussion to our guests for an enriching exchange. The evening will be rounded off by a convivial get-together, which will provide space for personal conversations and making valuable contacts.
In addition to these exciting program points, you can also expect entertaining and interactive networking at the various gaming stations.
The location is completely barrier-free. The program will be held in English.
