43 speakers and experts from all across the world. More
than 500+ attendees. More than 40 sessions across 2
(+1) days. Amongst the most grand and well produced
Awards shows. Followed by X Media Lab KL. In many ways
more than one, the MDeC Kre8tif conference was one of
the best ever, and also because the atmosphere at the
event was charged with positivity and a free flowing
energy.
Good
care was taken at the conference to ensure that even
the smallest and newest of the companies would have
a take away, and so would the artists and students and
of course the big wigs as well. What was also very nice
about the event was the professionalism with which it
was moderated and anchored. It was where some of the
world's best gathered, to inspire an industry and ecosystem
that wants to become the world's best. And AnimationXpress
Asia Pacific is honored to be involved with
Kre8tif and MDeC, and to bring you two special editions
-of Kre8tif coverage (this is part 1 and part 2 follows
in 3 days).
Read
on, and we are sure you will either reminisce about
the good and enriching time you had at Kre8tif last
week, or you will start making plans to attend next
year!
Happy
Reading!
