motion speakers are the top creative thinkers and innovators in the industry.

A concept borrowed from TED, each speaker is on stage for 20 minutes giving the talk of their life on subjects they’re passionate about. Talks that revolutionize the industry. Talks that revitalize the creative muse. Talks that make attendees remember the reason they got into this business to begin with.

motion welcome the brightest and most creative minds in the motion graphics, visual effects {VFX}, and animation industries. From artists to agents – if you've got something spectacular to share, motion is your stage.
