It is meant to assist FAVA in understanding the community's needs with the purpose of better serving animators.

During the event, we aim to answer five key questions:

1. What educational and training programming are we missing?
2. What artist resources are we lacking?
3. How can we help build community in a digital or physical space?
4. What further professional development do animators need?
5. In 5 years, where do animators need FAVA to be?

The event will consist of a welcome mixer, presentations from professional animators, focus groups, networking activities, film screenings, a catered lunch, and a final panel where attendees can ask questions of their own.
