Animation Nation Forum Moves to Wednesday 12 November 2025

6th August 2025

Mark your calendars the Animation Nation Forum returns this year on Wednesday 12 November, taking place at the Bridgewater Hall. That’s right, Wednesday, not the usual Thursday slot, so please update your diary!

This vital industry event is where animation and innovation come together, bringing together studios, broadcasters, commissioners, creatives, and business leaders to explore the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the sector. Whether you’re forging new partnerships, meeting old friends and colleagues or gaining fresh insights, the Forum is a key date for anyone working in the animation industry.

After a successful first year the ANF connect will be returning, allowing delegates the chance to meet face to face with key industry figures and company representatives and the MAF Marketplace will take place alongside it, complete with the chance to meet studios, watch demos, take part in portfolio reviews and much, much more.

Stay tuned for programme announcements, but for now: save the date, spread the word, and don’t miss out! Tickets will go on sale September.
