Welsh Media consortium Media Cymru is set to host the latest in a series of special “Innovators in Residence” events, which will see its base in Cardiff play host to some of the UK’s leading animation, film-making and storytelling specialists.

During the two-day event series, innovation experts from Aardman Animations and beyond will share their knowledge on stop-motion animation, game making and storytelling through a series of interactive workshops, project deep dives and Q&A sessions.

Alongside Dan Efergan, guests will be joined by four additional special guests with their own expertise: David Gray, Eve Bolotova, Jon Quinn and Joshua Baldwin representing companies including MyWorld, The Chinese Room and Breaking Change.

Media Cymru’s “Innovators in Residence” programme brings expert innovators to the Cardiff Capital Region, providing opportunities for engagement with expertise from across the world. The series of free hosted events enables knowledge exchange and provides insights that develop new knowledge, skills, and ideas to support the innovation activity taking place in the Cardiff capital. It is delivered though masterclasses, workshops, arranged meetings and incoming trade missions.

Spaces are limited, but free spaces are available here.
