Meet your people. Start your story.

Breaking into the animation industry isn’t easy—especially right now. But if you’re passionate about storytelling, art, and finding your place in the industry don’t miss this event!

Join us for “How to Get Your Start in Animation,” an inspiring and honest conversation presented by the TAG Foundation and supported by our friends at First Entertainment. This event is created specifically for college students and recent grads ready to take their first step. And this is more than a panel. It’s a chance to learn, connect and mingle with fellow artists, creatives, and industry professionals.

You’ll hear from an incredible lineup of animation leaders:

• Carrie Liao, Head of Story, Walt Disney Animation Studios
• Ian Graham, SVP Creative, Flying Bark Studios
• Sidney Ryan, Producer, The Simpsons
• Cheryl Johnson, Art Director, Regular Show: The Lost Tapes

…and more.

They’ll share career advice on portfolios and interviews, but also dig into how to stay creative, adapt and build community in a changing industry. Whether you’re refining your portfolio, job hunting or starting to explore your next steps, this night is about helping you move forward with confidence.

Bonus: Attendees will have a chance to win one of three Wacom One 14 pen displays that we will raffle off after the panel.
