The conference will feature exciting and insightful workshops, panel discussions, and talks from visitors' favorite animators and artists. 

Animation artists will also have the chance to exhibit their artwork at the conference.

The Book Trailer Award requires participants to create a promo book trailer for the “Kharareef” book series by Emirati author Dubai Abulhoul and submit it by Apr. 10.

The Pitch the Project Award requires participants to pitch a proposal for an animated series representing participants' Middle Eastern culture and heritage.
