TALKS MENTORING NETWORKING AFTERPARTY
FAQ
WHAT IS CG101?
CG101 is a conference event that aims to bring together the CG community through lectures, networking opportunities, portfolio reviews, and an afterparty. We want to create a space where TV/Film/Games/Developers and more can collaborate under one roof.
This event is non-profit. This means the tickets are free for attendees and the event is fully funded by sponsors who will be represented onsite.
WHY IS THE EVENT FREE?
As CG ourselves, we, the organisers, are very aware of the benefits of going to professional conferences. However we also know that costs can add up very quickly and can prevent people from being able to attend. As such we have ensured that the event is entirely free for attendees so as to remove as many barriers to entry as we can.
WHO ARE THE SPEAKERS?
This year we will have 2 stages with a total of 8 lectures and about 15 speakers. Check our program page to meet our speakers!
HOW CAN I GET A PORTFOLIO REVIEW?
1 on 1 portfolio reviews will be bookable at the CG101 booth at the event, make sure to come early to book it!
