If you’re an animation professional, or working to become one, check out the CTN Animation Expo this weekend in Burbank, California. The expo features over 50 master workshops and panels; portfolio review consultations; live demonstrations and signing opportunities; and business symposia for freelance artists and small studio owners.

From the press release:

Be a part of the only dedicated Expo for animation talent in the USA—located in the #1 market, Burbank California, this event fills a substantial void by providing highly focused conference programming, workshops, recruiting, presentations and networking opportunities designed to connect animation artists, studio executives and industry leaders both locally and internationally.

Launched in 2004 CTN (The Creative Talent Network) is a virtual community of animation artists from some of the highest grossing films in the history of animation who come together once a year to showcase their work and connect with other creatives. As the leaders of this community our mission is to empower the talent and engage with studios and educators. Making meaningful connections that propel talent into positions within the animation, games and surrounding industries is at the heart of what we do.

The Expo runs this Friday through Sunday, November 20-22, at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel and Convention Center. Tickets start at $25 for a one-day exhibit floor pass.
