Programme
The highlight of AnimfxNZ '09 is the "Creating Digital Connections" keynote stream on Friday 6 November. This is complemented with a series of workshops on Saturday 7 November. A two-day pass to both days represents the best value for money.
The Master Class workshops on Thursday 5 November are a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry. And for kids and students with an interest, there's a special series of workshops on Saturday 7 November.
