HELLO EVERYONE,
By now, some heads may be spinning from all the story worlds, incredible visuals and fascinating technologies presented at FMX. ✨ And there is one more day to go - get ready for the final events On Site at FMX 2024!
Here are some impressions from Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3.
There's no need to worry what to do once the On Site magic is over: The FMX On Demand Program will be available from April 27 to May 31, giving ticket holders - except Day Pass holders - the opportunity to watch a lot of conference content they haven't been able to catch. How to get access? Please consult our On Demand Guide.
Also, the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film will be on until Sunday. If you're still in town: Why not seize the opportunity and drop by?
