Why are we co-locating now - what's the vision?
The events calendar has never been more crowded. Your time is finite. Your budget is finite. And you deserve more from the events you choose to attend.
The co-located Global FilmTech Forum is our answer to that. By bringing three closely related industry communities under one roof, we can offer something no individual event can: the depth of a specialist conference combined with the scale of a major industry gathering. Your niche track still runs exactly as you'd expect — but now you’ll have access to a larger exhibition, a more diverse network of potential collaborators, and richer side conversations in the corridors.
This isn't a merger. It's an upgrade.

The event's mission and objectives
Our mission is simple: maximise the value you get from every hour you invest. That means sharper sessions, more decision-makers in the room, and a format built around meaningful connection — not just attendance.
The value and unique benefits of the co-located event
- Specialist depth - Dedicated tracks preserving the technical rigour and focus you need and expect.
- Cross-industry reach - Connect with peers you'd never encounter at a single-stream event.
- Stronger exhibition Meet more of the right partners and qualified buyers – thanks to our bigger more vibrant show floor.
- Better ROI - Comparable pricing to usual AMI events, but far more opportunity packed into the same trip.
What's new and different (especially for past attendees), including format changes and the networking party
The agenda runs across 2.5 intensive days, enough time to go deep in your primary stream, explore adjacent sessions, work the exhibition floor, and still make the most of a dedicated evening networking sessions and evening party. We've deliberately designed the schedule to avoid forcing you to choose between the conference room and the show floor.
The exhibition showcase is significantly larger than anything we've run before, with a broader mix of suppliers, technology providers, and service companies spanning the full FilmTech ecosystem. Expect more to see, more to discuss, and more reasons to stay on the floor.
