Spanning November 12-15 at the Audrey Irmas Pavilion, the festival promises four days of discussions, demonstrations, and experiences focusing on the future of the creative industries. Previous high-profile attendees include directors Jon Favreau, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Jeff Bridges, and the Russo Brothers. This year, the festival's primary theme is AI, with panels exploring AI's growing influence across various creative sectors. AI will be integrated into a larger program encompassing animation, gaming, sports tech, filmmaking, music, virtual production, and live entertainment. Attendees can anticipate content on cutting-edge animation and filmmaking tools and workflows, the increasing intersection of gaming and entertainment, advancements in live sports and fan experiences, and innovations in immersive production and live event design. Esteemed partners NVIDIA and HP will participate once again, with additional programming and keynotes to be revealed in the coming weeks. Mark Lieber, the festival's founder and CEO, emphasized the festival's relevance in today's rapidly evolving landscape of entertainment and technology. \"The changes taking place across entertainment and technology aren't happening in separate lanes anymore, and Infinity Festival is designed for that reality,\" Lieber stated.
